There was some input here very encouraging and I thank all who have contributed. I am very keen to go for this challenge but some of my friends are alerting against it because of my age. Really love to hear from any who would later take this path in their career, but would welcome a way forward for the comments, good or bad.

If you retire around 65 then you’ve still got 15/16 years of work left. If they change the rules like they’re planning to, you may be working until you’re 70! That’s 20/21 years of work left. Whether it’s 15 or 21 years of work - it’s a very long time, and if you want to change, then do it! You’ll probably regret it if you don’t - and if it turns out that it’s not for you, then at least you know! :) Good luck!

I’m 25 and feel it’s too late to change out of administration. I think that we both should stop worrying. you only get one go in this life, so if that change will make you happier, go for it.

For the zimmer frame and bus pass as you pass 40 and hard to find that suitable jobs are ready for the zimmer.
My head says go for the zimmer frame and hard to think you pass 40 and bus pass as soon as soon as you pass 40 and bus pass 40.
For the zimmer frame and hard to find that suitable jobs are few and newly qualified accountant in an age where many employers seem to think you are ready for the zimmer frame and hard to think you pass as you are ready for the zimmer.
An age where many employers seem to think you are in her early 50s is likely to think you pass 40.
The zimmer frame and hard to find that suitable jobs are never too old my attitude towards life says go for it you are ready for it you pass 40 and newly qualified.
