Iam 48. I was working in Software industry in a senior position since 20 yrs. I happened to go through health related issues and quit the job primarily, to take care of my health. I am doing better now. I don't want to go back to IT. I don't want to sit idle. I want to be my own boss. Iam not able to find the right track. Please guide.

Sir, I am 36 years old. I completed my BE in 2007 in electronics and telecommunications.  But I couldn't get any job and with lot of difficulty I got a job as a clerk in private bank in 2012. Two months ago, I quit my job to give some time to my son. The management was also harassing me for canvassing third party products like insurance and accounts. And the working hours were too long. I couldn't bear it and decided to quit. I am at fault that I was too comfortable with the bank’s job and didn't learn anything new or get out of my comfort zone and try new things. Now, I have exited my job and am also at a higher age. I want to learn something which can be beneficial and maybe I can get opportunity to work after one year. I’m confused as to what to learn. Can you guide me? I live in a semi-urban area and in future also I would like to be here only. Can you also tell me about some home-based jobs to boost my income? I am ready to learn but I still don't know what to do. Regards, Confused and Anxious Viewer

Hello Sir, I am 39 years old, married and have 10 years old daughter. I work in a BPO (Risk and Compliance Department) since I was 23. Since I was not ambitious during my college days and till now I have no goals, no aim, no passion, the current job I find it very boring. I am stucked at an Analyst level since last 17 years. Also, with lot of family issues at my home, my mind does not work openly and have stucked in the comfort zone. I am a hard working person but not smart working. My wife is a housewife and have no other income other than my job. I want to grow, do lots of hard working but due to lack of self confidence, I always have a fear to get at TL or Manager level. Also, I am not sure which industry I have interest in. It is only since 17 years, I am doing this job, I tell everybody that I am from a BPO sector. But I really want to earn more so that I can fulfill my family needs but please help me in which direction I should go and Howww? I know at the age of 40, I cannot start working in a new sector with no prior experience but really is it too late to change the sector? and if no, Please suggest me any industry where I can start from scratch, learn new things and can work with great interest and can grow myself.

I am 45, working as manager(Technical) in a reputed company, earning 16L . I feel like this is not my kind of work and struggling to cope up, want to switch over to business or to start over again in other filed. Its a great risk, due to lot of responsibilities and future on stake. What can be my options today.

Post mid career and looking at steps to nowhere ! Hello. I am an IT professional having had all my time in hands-on-Tech roles. But I have come to realize that without getting into management the money does not grow. Having hands-on-tech role does not mean no responsibility, there are technical decisions to be made which impacts cash and budgets, but usually it is not visible to top management directly. I am also 52 yrs old. Not seeing any great growth in current company / role and slightly not updated to current tech. Lost and need advise and help on what can be done. Since I am doing good currently, also my salary expectations are high ( 7 digits ), but that is fair in current market. Every company looking to hire at this range looks for management roles and less of actually technical capabilities.. Starting a business sounds too risky at this stage. Any advise? Thank you so much.

sir 1 am 57 yeas old and try to change my job but because of my age not getting opportunity . Pls. guide me in this connection.
