Sir,
I am 50 years old and, at this age, I am facing a dilemma about what to do in life.
I have worked in private companies, mainly in software ERP selling/support in Delhi, but have never been satisfied with the kind of work I do. I did it just to look after my family.
I lost my job in during this pandemic and my confidence is low.
Do you think I should look for a job or start a business at this age?
Is there any kind of online test or questionnaire that can clear my dilemma?
I have hunger for success but I do not know how to achieve it
Name withheld on request.
Hi.
I can understand your situation where you worked for so many years to support your family and not really had the opportunity to follow your passion.
If your family’s financial condition is stable now, then you can consider starting your own business. It comes with its own risks but it will be an enriching experience.
You can also consider areas like teaching or social work for the next phase of your career.
