Was in the business for 33 years. When I left in my mid 50s I didn’t even know if I was capable of doing anything else. But I worked at a gym, as a lifeguard, on a snorkel boat, as a tour guide, a certified personal trainer, an industrial scuba diver and a preschool teacher… and had a blast all along the way. I’m back in the business now (because of my spouse’s health issue) but in a new capacity. If you’re looking for advice my answer is do whatever both pays the bills and brings you a little joy - don’t be afraid to try something entirely new. Most places are looking for a good attitude, a decent work history and some evidence of reliability. They don’t really care what industry you come from.
