I've run my own successful database consulting business, been a sales rep, development engineer and product manager for a Fortune 50 company, ran a startup that I left, was VP ops for another startup, digital sales support rep, digital photo lab owner and photographer. I'm 53. Anything is possible. Agree with suggestions to hire a career coach. Mine was great when I went through a terrible patch in my early 40s. DM me for his contact.

How to DM you? (I do not see a contact method in your HN profile. I think I am in the market to talk with a career coach, and that recommendation sounds like it might really help.) I have put an email address in my profile. Glad to hear your outlook and experiences. Thanks.
