One day I will do what I love to do, will land a job that I actually want to do, and will pursue my passion.
We recall and tell ourselves about these thoughts daily but not everyone has the courage to get out of their comfort zone and do what they are passionate about. If you have searched for this article, it means you are halfway there to pursuing what you aspire for and are ready for a path-breaker moment.
Congrats!! You are one of the few people who will do what they love to do, as when people pursue their passion magic happens!!
At the same time, it is important to know how to make the career switch, so that you achieve the desired result. In this article we’ll discuss:
Making a career change at 50, is a life-changing decision, and here are some factors that you should consider:
Driven by Passion
By this age, you know clearly what you are passionate about, and what will add another dimension to your life. Pursuing your passion may lead to a complete industry shift and starting from ground zero.
No Age for Learning
Learning is a vicious circle, and nothing can limit your urge for learning something new. Starting a new career opens up the path for learning new skill-sets, and even gathering knowledge from the youngsters. It brings excitement and a lot of satisfaction that you have added another armor to your kitty.
A Streefress Life
Stree is something that cannot be avoided completely, rather when starting something new you may feel more stressed and when there is a willingness to achieve something to aspire for all that stress does not matter.
Time for Self-reflection
When you realize your complete potential the results-driven out of your efforts are awesome. Many people at the age of 50 are at the peak of their career because of pursuing a career they always wanted to.
Colonel Sanders
Sanders hopped many jobs before 50, including insurance sales, streetcar conductor, and fireman. At 40, he came up with a Kentucky service station, also offering fried chicken to hungry patrons. His recipe gained a lot of eyeballs, and then he franchised in 1952 when he was 62. By the age of 70, he sold his interest in KFC for $2 million. It took him decades to mark a niche but with patience and perseverance, he did it all.
Ray Kroc
The McDonald’s magnate was initially a salesman, selling five-spindle milkshake mixers to restaurants and drugstores, and it was then that Kroc, then 50, met Dick and Mac McDonald. He convinced them to a franchise, and then there was no looking back. At the age of 63, McDonald’s opened 400 restaurants in 44 states.
Julia Child
A professional working in the advertising, media industry when wrote her first cookbook at the age of 50, turned out to be a celebrity chef in 1961. A remarkable success story.

Education & Training - With the education industry transforming, and online education becoming the new thing, major edutech companies are looking for teachers, trainers who can take up online classes.
