[quote=Anonymous]DH is 47 and since the start of this year he has been very depressed over his career. He is an Adjunct professor in Math at a community college. I am the higher earning spouse and he does the lion share of raising the kids and running the household. Suddenly he has been comparing himself to his peers and lamenting that he has wasted his talent all these years. And he has been threatening to quit his job and start over. He only has a master's degree in Math and I honestly don't think he understands how difficult it will be for him to make a transition from the public sector to the private sector at 47. And his degree in such a dry subject I am not sure he will get calls for interviews which will make him even more depressed. I want to help him with this transition as he has made his mind to quit but at least he will do so once he gets a new job. Any advice to navigate this? Career change at 47 is not easy ageism is real and his current teaching experience I am not sure it will help him much.[/quote]
