when you hit your late 20s early 30s you're dialed into a career path/ready to pop a ring on some long term relationship. would be the standard cookie cutter "life" that most have, certainly can vary for others, but id say thats fair assessment for most.
its a lot harder to explore/learn and try different shit as you get older, much easier when you're young to fuck around and do dumb shit |
Sorry, but I'm calling bullshit.
My uncle fucked around with different jobs until he was about 40 then started his own business and in the next 20 years became a millionaire. He lost it all in the recession and started again at 58 in a completely different career/field and now he's wealthy again.
My life was on a path of working fine, decently paid but ultimately somewhat dead-end jobs until my mid-late 20's when we tried to buy a house, it fell through so my other half said fuck this place, lets move somewhere else.
I went from squeezing myself on the tube each morning to go work in a tiny office in central london, to working on all the blockbuster movies for one of the most famous film score composers within in the period of one year.
I couldn't have ever imagined I'd be where I'm at now. My life as I now it started after my 20's.
I actually found it easier to do it when you're older becuase you have a fucking clue what you're actually doing and some experience and more valuable skills to rely on.
You can change anything you want, any time you want. Sure, it's more difficult if you have kids but I know plenty of people that have completely changed their lives with an entire family in tow.
