'A NEW CAREER AFTER FORTY' - The spur to embark on a new career after forty may be redundancy, a desire to escape the rat race or a dead-end job or to fulfil a long held ambition before it is too late. This practical handbook, packed with job-specific information, pinpoints the opportunities that exist for these 'late-changers', the surest means to success, and the pitfalls to avoid. Its positive advice draws on the case histories of many men and women who have successfully switched careers after forty and who demonstrate that, even in maturity, it is never too late to begin again. Contributors include middle-aged people from all walks of life who have taken up new occupations as artists, lawyers, nurses, writers, students, teachers, farmers, hoteliers, priests, shop owners, singers, driving instructors and many others.
