[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you spent your entire adult life in dead end jobs and have only basic excel skills to show for can you realistically re-start your career at 48? Or is the ship gone for good?

I am currently and admin assistant and I hate it. It's getting harder and harder to feel motivated to go to work. I simply don't want to work in a job where I have to constantly interact with people.

I want to re-start my career and I want a back office type of job? With my.excel skills I think data analyst could be a good transition. I don't have an IT degree though. My bachelor's degree obtained 26 years ago was in history.

I make $106,000 currently. Am I dreaming? Should I just stay where I am.until.retirement. I want to be optimistic but it seems to me that a lot of people on this board really believe ageism is real (they have probably been victim of it to be fair perhaps) and it gives me pause because I wonder if I should put in the effort just for companies to find too old to be an analyst at 48.[/quote]

You're whining about making $106k while I've been out of full time work for 18 months and can't get job, any type of job, to save my life. STFU.[/quote]
