Is 30 too old to start a completely new career in a completely new field?

Hell No! That's a question born of negative thought! Think positively, my man!40 isn't too old either!

No, definitely not! Just plan carefully so that you can be the most efficient with your time, because you probably have more responsibilities than you did then years ago.

Not at all. I did it by choice at 30, did it again at 40, now face doing it again (from necessity) at 53. Whether you have to or you want to, changing careers is a wonderful process, like shedding skins and becoming somebody new.

You will grow and your income will grow. If your goal is to help and serve people, and you have the desire to learn the skills, the health field will be fulfilling for you.

You are never too old to follow your dreams and do what makes you feel fulfilled and happy!

No it isn't don't go on trends, trends are just the outcome of common thinking of common people... Success in a career doesn't depends on the age in which it is started... just depends on yor experience and skills. Infact starting it in the age of 30 will have aplus point... i. E your experience will help you to reach success easily and quickly :-).

If you're healthy and are strong and have the gifts and calling for the field then age is not a limitation. Good luck.

Absolutely not! Go for it! You need to feel a sense of fulfillment in what you do.

More people are going back to college or changing careers than ever before.

Not at all. It can be quite painful as I know from experience, balancing necessity with making sure your new path gives your life meaning. At 30 I experience more of a sense of urgency while trying to be optimistic, as far as my own goals and choices go.

However, you're never too old to learn! As they say, it's better to regret something you tried than something you didn't...

Only if your trying out for a professional sports team. No... seriously 30 is not too old. I'm 47 and have had three careers.

Air Force jet machanic, stock broker, and now I design and manufacture sleepwear.

I don't believe so. There will be sacrifices - such as time, energy and money involved in learning. If you have a very strong desire and drive to pursue and succeed a new career or vocation - only you can stop getting what you want in life.

No, 30 is actually pretty young. I know a guy who is in his mid 40's and is going back to school for a completely different profession.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
