Career Change Advice from The Onion
If you’ve not been a fan of The Onion, America’s Finest News Source, you might be after reading their advice for “Making a Midlife Career Change“. In typical Onion fashion, they peel back the layers of a complicated matter and boil it down to its humorous essentials. Here are my favorite tips from this classic 2001 article:
• If you are married and have children, it may prove difficult to change careers while maintaining financial stability. Consider moving across the country in the middle of the night and assuming a new identity.
• Why not sink your life savings into self-publishing a book of essays about your reflections on aging? There’s a gold mine for ya.
• Know what you would be good at? Writing movies. After all, you watch a ton of them, and it’s just thinking up stuff for people to say.
