    Career Change

    At the Ripe Young Age of 54, I have taken the leap and made a MAJOR career Change. After over 25 yrs working in the Food Industry; from commercial kitchens to sausage processing plants; I am changing to the Agriculture Field.
    I was presented and offered a job in the Seed and Fertilizer field. After interviews and site visits, I was presented an Offer Letter. After reading it over and over again, I accepted.
    Good Bye Food Industry and Hello Seed and Fertilizer Industry. This has to be one of the Biggest, if NOT The Biggest, decisions I have ever made. Starting over at 54 years old in a field I have NOT worked in before...
    Wish Me Luck that is all pays off. I am thinking it will

              I had a realization the other day that, at 54, I cannot continue to work 6 days a week 12-14 hrs a day. Life is WAY TOO SHORT. All I seem to do is work and sleep 6 days a week. One day a week for a round of golf, hunt, or fish plus yard work and household chores. Just cannot continue on this path..

                    I started over after 31 years in the Supermarket business @ the age of 47 and went into manufacturing. My advice is to take it one day at a time. Gonna be some bumps and learning curves. Best thing I ever did and hopefully it will work out for you as well. Good luck.

                        In five years I may be doing the same thing.

                          Congrats!!! I was in food distribution sales for 14 years and made a change for the same reason. The money was great but everything else was not!

                          Good on you and good luck!
