Hell no it isn't. I made the change last year at a svelt 3130 yo (still training) as a surveyor with the bleak possibility of losing my job. is it too late to enter another career and train again?
I changed from Electronics Engineering to Air Traffic Control at the age of 31. It's not easy changing but worth it in the long run.
exactly what i was going to sayAt 30 years old you have another 38 years of your working life ahead of you. You are nowhere near too old for a career change.
I switched at 26, went into teaching, hated it even more now unemployed.
Don't make these decisions lightly guys!!!! I'm a warning to you
I'm now looking to get a job at McD's and save every penny to do a masters in Hydrographic surveying in 2011, aligned with my original degree.
Lucky I have no depends.
Can I be nosey and ask why you jacked in the Electronics Engineering?
