I'm 35, have been working in the retail industry after college/grad school, within Operations. There are other things that now thinking back, I probably would have done different. Is it too late to change career fields in the civilian world at some point? Which professional careers do you need to start out "young" in?

SFC Nikhil Kumra Never too late to change careers unless you are targeting a profession sport league: NBA, NFL, Professional Lacrosse, you get the point.
At 35 you are just getting started, you have most of your working life ahead of you.

I don't believe it's really ever to late. Change is often good as long as it makes sense. You want to be in a Career that makes you Happy! I really enjoy the life as a recruiter, but I want to transition into my own business owner and leave a legacy for my children. I am part of a business called AdvoCare and have everything in place, but I need to devote more time into making it happen and help other great leaders succeed!

When I was 16, my first job was kicking visitors out of the local hospital at 2000. I worked up to a nurses aide and central supply tech. It all lead to working at Motion Picture Hospital where I took care of a Stooge, two Tarzan's, Tonto, and others. But I wanted to be an engineer and that's where my life took me. I've wondered on occasion what it would have been like to pursue a medical doctor program and have that career. I think I could have been happy with several different careers. That is secondary to being blessed with my wife.
