Our report, “New Careers for Older Workers,” continues to gather attention, this time in a PayScale piece that was picked up by Money last week.
The story, “3 Reasons to Switch Careers, Even When You’re ‘Too Old,’” says changing careers can make you happier, even if it’s a little scary. The author, Anne Holub, cites our study, in which 87 percent of older workers surveyed said they were happy or very happy with their change, and 65 percent said they felt less stress at work.
The PayScale story also says your years of experience are not a liability, but something to be touted. And it notes there are resources available for helping you make your shift.
