Date: April 8th, 2026 9:39 AM Author: Mind-boggling zombie-like laser beams chapel At some point, there aren't many doors open and possibilities left in your life. In your 20s, you can find young love, start fresh in an industry, be somebody. By 40, you're very likely on the path you're on, and if you haven't already made it in whatever you want to make it in, you're probably not going to.
Two saving graces are (1) having kids, which resets the clock insofar as they can still make it and be and do anything, and (2) making enough money to get out and the wage cage and at least chill for a bit. |
|
Date: April 8th, 2026 9:40 AM Author: fantasy-prone crystalline parlor what percentage of people have saving graces by 40
no chance at all to turn the ship around in 40s and above? |
|
Date: April 8th, 2026 10:10 AM Author: Mind-boggling zombie-like laser beams chapel The vast majority of people have a kid by 40--even in our declining birth rate techno-dystopia.
One definitely can, in theory, turn the ship around in his/her 40s and above. Some people have. E.g., Rodney Dangerfield found little success as a comic in his 20s, he quit to get a regular job in his 30s, and he returned to comedy in his 40s, becoming one of the biggest comics of his era and a legend.
The problems are more that (a) very few people who haven't already found success or put themselves on the path to success by 40 are going to have the resources, will power, energy, capacity, etc. to do so after 40 and (b) even if the factors in (a) weren't a problem, a lot of doors still remain closed, by choice or otherwise. |

Date: April 8th, 2026 10:13 AM Author: fantasy-prone crystalline parlor I know a few career military bros getting out after 20 yrs at 42-45, they're looking for 2nd careers. Have a 50% pension, GI bill to do whatever education, and the kids are almost out of the house. It seems like life is sort of starting for them...
What doors remain closed, becoming like a Zuckerberg billionaire? Other than that, I can't see or think of too many |
|
Date: April 8th, 2026 10:53 AM Author: Mind-boggling zombie-like laser beams chapel Entertainment--40smos aren't "up" on what's cool, no one wants to see a 40 year old struggling to make it and find his footing, youthful energy and creativity are gone.
Anything that requires being away from family and starting out with little pay. E.g., I'm a reasonably competent guitarist and I could find a band to tour with (but see above about no one wanting to see a 40 year old entertainer who isn't at the top of the craft or who isn't already famous). However, I don't want to be away from my kids, and I want to make money so they can live a good life.
Breaking into a new industry that requires starting on the ground floor. That's cool and fine when you're in your 20s. Would you want to be a 43 year old first year associate? Junior programmer? |

i can see why Entertainment doesnt work. but its a ruthless industry that chews out even 18 yr olds. its not TCR for most people |

Date: April 8th, 2026 11:03 PM Author: nudist electric kitty cat hospital Military retirees seem like they're ideally positioned for a second act. In reality, that rarely seems to happen. I don't really hear of those people doing a whole lot with the opportunity. Optimal path seems to be serving for a few years to get the experience and education benefits and getting out while still in the 20s to pursue a civilian career.

Date: April 8th, 2026 6:17 PM Author: Buff Lodge Gunner I know a guy who was a successful startup founder. Hit his big exit and took up race car driving as his new “career.” After a few years I think it was all feeling a bit hollow and he went back to work as a patrol deputy for his local sheriff’s department.
Imagine being a centimillionaire with a giant country estate and a barn full of Ferraris who has to pick up night shifts from his cop bros and answer domestic violence calls on the prole end of the county. |

Date: April 8th, 2026 11:51 AM Author: Vengeful Apoplectic Dingle Berry Gaming Laptop I feel lucky to have figured out my direction in my early 30s and to have made a little money. As OP and others have pointed out, it is pretty brutal to watch someone still trying to "figure it out" in their 40s. People like that would be better off living a very non-traditional life. Not full TT or anything, but not grinding in some "career" either. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5854909&forum_id=2#49803605) |
