My only mid-life crisis is that my 41 year old body won’t allow me to do the things that my 25 year old mind wants it to do. As for careers, until now I’ve never really had a career, just jobs that pay the bills, however now with the realisation that there’s maybe less (hopefully) time working ahead of me than behind, I figure I should apply myself a bit more in terms of work.
It’s funny cos I look around my office and see loads of high flyer tyoes in senior positions who are my age or younger, and they don’t come across as very happy. Which may be something to do with the fact they all got on the career ladder straight out of uni and never allowed themselves to enjoy themselves when they were young. Thankfully that’s not a problem I ever had.
