I have over 10 years of exp. helping people with career exploration and job search. I see many older workers who are seeking more satisfying careers or need to update their skills or find less physically demanding work. I want to become a career counselor specializing in working with boomer gen. I am interviewing tomorrow for a masters in counseling program, and will be 58 by the time I graduate. You bet it is scary taking on a significant debt at my age and yes, I worry that I will not have the memory power to succeed in my studies. But the fear of just playing it safe and remaining tight in the bud is greater than the fear of taking this risk.
