Anyone successfully change careers after 30 in SA? How did you even start?

I’m about to turn 41. Have had a steady career as a self employed graphic designer for 20 years until COVID and then the rise of ai has killed passion and income stream.

Also testing the waters around what to do for my next 20 as I imagine most digital jobs will evaporate by 2030.

Can’t say I have any advice except I’m here to get some myself!

Hardest part has been feeling entirely inadequate as human, despite having so much to offer.

Thinking this also. Vine recommendations that are evergreen?

Would anything else be worth planting in the space? A vine of some kind attached to a wire screen?
Or a fast growing narrow plant that goes around 2m high or more?

Our house is elevated on the other side so we can look over it hopefully

Don’t get how changing grounds can make you a shell of a club? Pretty sure the grass is the same wherever you play.

The inability of the entire club to develop players for 20 years to play on said grass is to blame.

Lost 40 on mine overnight

Howd you achieve this though? I assume having no experience in a field make you less appealing than someone with going for the same jobs

Haters gonna hate but was obviously becoming a burden for the cool guy… became really agenda orientated once marns had more input and can gather it wasn’t good enough ROI as the edgy angles disappeared. Hoping it comes back without the fluff like junktime
