In the changing world of the twenty-first century, it is no longer “the thing” to go to school, pick your career, and climb the corporate ladder in the same field until you retire.
Where to Start
Some people just don't want to retire; others can't afford to, and still others retire from one career only to start a second career. Many people are able to be much more flexible in their choices of second careers, simply because they have already been in the workforce for many years and are settled into their lives much more so than when they were first starting out.
Many times, after motherhood or even retirement, second careers for women become a consideration. Some women will choose a second career after spending a few years at home; others will simply find themselves ready for a new career or a change. Perhaps interests have changed, making second careers for women a smart choice.
In the changing world of the twenty-first century, it is no longer “the thing” to go to school, pick your career, and climb the corporate ladder in the same field until you retire. A new movement is rising, with some people choosing multiple careers as early as when at the university, and almost 90% of citizens making a career change before the age of fifty.
