The industry I work in as a freelancer (design) is changing so fast due to tech advances that after 15 years doing it at a high level, I am exhausted at trying to keep up. It moves SO fast that I don't understand how anyone stays up to speed with that amount of data.

I always thought, once I was skilled up, that whatever job I committed my career to it would take me to my old grey years. But if now seems, in my early 40s, that I need to change careers in order to find any sort of security long-term.

Do any of you feel this way?

I resent the idea that I need to have multiple careers running at once just to secure my families future

  • That must be difficult for you to have to deal with. I haven't managed to find a job or career yet but I am looking. Like you though I want something which will take me in to elderly years and then retirement. Try to be kind to yourself and give yourself unwinding time. When things move fast it can be easy to get overwhelmed and swept under the current.
