Left research to be a SAHM at 46. Not the right choice for my career but the thing my family needed. Going to try my hand at screenwriting once the kids are in school.

I started my own business at age 50. Probably should have stayed at my day job, though. It was easier and paid more.

My cousin was working in Hollywood (and actually somewhat successful) but then changed to become a speech therapist in public schools. She loves it, and her acting experience is very helpful.

Honestly, what’s the point of such a vague reply?

Sounds like you were also successful.

I got my bachelor's degree at 40 and MSW at 41. Totally changed my life for the better.

Two friends of mine finished law school around 40, worked for other people for a bit, and then started their own practices doing trusts and estates. Before the law school, one used to be in IT and the other in investment banking. Both moms of two.
