Asking Eric: I want change for the second half of my career
A reader in their mid-40s who’s spent two decades at the same organization asks whether they can afford to step away briefly to recharge and return refocused for the second half of their career.
Dear Eric: After two decades working in the same organization and several years in my actual position, I’ve been wanting a change. I actually like my job but now in my mid-40s feel like I need to change things up for the second half of my career.
Between my wife’s income and some savings, we could get by financially for a while.
