[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went through a legit crisis (career problems and divorce) around 40. I remember how my mother’s quiet suspicion that somehow it’s all my fault and her anxiety that I was going to fail and end up destitute added to my situation. So if you have similar feelings - please just stay out of it. 
It would have meant the world to me if she just said: i know it's not your fault. life happens and if worse comes to worst i will always welcome you and my grandson here.

I also struggled quite a bit in the early years of my career. I am a lawyer and it took me a really long time to find a job that I like.  I'm 16 years into my career and I feel like I only really hit my stride over the past two years.  A career is a DECADES long journey.  Its not always going to be an amazing experience.  There are going to be some years that suck and some that are better than others.

Also like others have said I don't think there is anything wrong with considering a trade job. Since he has a corporate background, he would probably relate well to the highly educated people in this area, and they may be more comfortable with him than the standard blue collar worker, sad as that is to say.  If he starts his own business he can make a really good living.  [/quote]
