[quote=Anonymous]Not worth it, ageism is rampant in employment after 50 and you yourself could easily lose your job at 55, which is what happened to me. I would just stick to the job I had and then prepare for part-time or early retirement and then do something simple. Save, save, save. You don't want to go into nursing. I've know a couple of women that went into it late and they ran into the ageism wall, they could get into either long-term care or psychiatric nursing as those are considered suitable for "old" women. You are just having a mid-life crisis and it's not worth going into debt or throwing away the bird-in-the-hand now. Just because you are healthy now, it is meaningless. Half my childhood classmates died before 60 of cancer or weird things. My best friend ended up a doctor and then had early onset Alzheimer's at 52. All of them were extremely healthy. [/quote]
