[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be honest 21-34 should be for partying. At work 34-49 is peak. So plenty of time ti make your move. Just do it.

I landed a really big job at 45 after goofing off till 35 in my career. That job ended at 55 and still got a big job. 60 is kiss of death job hopping but 40-55 is all good [/quote]

No one needs 15 years of partying. Plus you need time for your spouse and kids. Kids, plus work dominated my 30s. They were a blur of family life. That happens for others in their 40s (and they killed their career in their 30s). No matter the time frame, it's hard to excel at work and at home. To do so requires a ton of help, and even then you are likely just surviving.[/quote]

I got married at 36. Hence the 15 years or partying. I excelled at work just from 36-45 peak years. Got from cube to corner office and had three kids in that stretch of time. Then went into chill mode from 45-55. Had my big corner office and a bunch of staff to do the work. Bucket of cold water in face at 55 reinvested my self now in a new industry with a big office and staff. Going to chill again

Kids are great career. Do you know how much respect I get with three young kids banging out work! [/quote]

Are you a man? [/quote]
Exactly. Only for men are kids great for a career.[/quote]
