Changing careers can feel a bit intimidating at any age. That's especially true when
you're considering making a major transition late in life. Then again, recent trends
suggest that your chances for success may be greater than you think.
A survey by the American Institute for Economic Research found that more than
80% of respondents said they were able to launch a new career after age 45. Even
when they had to take an initial pay cut, most of them were able to increase their
income over time.
What does that mean for you? Sticking it out until retirement doesn't have to be your
only option when you can do something you love, even if it means making less money
temporarily. Plus, with retirement ages increasing, you might be able to benefit from
your new career for many more years to come.
Whether you're a mature adult who wants to pursue your passions, reduce stress, or
just enjoy a change of pace, an encore career might be just what you need.
Consider these strategies for preparing for the next stage in your professional life:
Prepare Financially
Prepare Professionally
If you've been dreaming about taking your career in a different direction, start
preparing now. You may find that the later stages of your professional life will be the
most rewarding.
