I changed careers around the time I adopted my kids. My old job paid very well but it was not compatible with being a single mom. I had various opportunities, so I chose the one that would give me the most flexibility in terms of where and when I would accomplish my work. The new career was about as technical as the old one and I had to get up to speed fast. Between that and getting to know my kids and figuring out how to parent them effectively at 41, I was exhausted and stressed out a lot. Getting chid care figured out was a huge turning point. Overall, there's a learning curve but it does get more manageable over time. If you're a person who embraces learning opportunities, there's not much difference between a new career, new job, or new way of doing the old job. It's just a matter of degree. And on the positive side, you can lose a lot of baggage in the transition.

I've always been glad I made the switch. There are lots of things that are hard about my job, but there isn't another job/career that would make me happier, that I can think of.
