Some may wonder why somebody in his late 30's decides to Change Career. I know it is not unusual, but reasons may vary. Sometimes one realizes that the old profession is not in demand anymore, or it may be about lack of satisfaction with what you do. In my case, it was all emotional. When I was in my late 30's, not only did I decide to change career, but my entire life. That happened when I accepted that divorce was better than staying in an unhappy marriage, and living on my own, although difficult, will make me feel better and respect myself more.

To make a long story short, I totally abandoned the mechanical engineering, and went for computers. Not that computers ever amazed me in any way, but it had to be something competitive..and I had another good reason for that: My ex made me feel I couldn't eventually go for computers. Perhaps she was right, but my stubborn nature was stronger than all, and I graduated with honors.

It may not be a big deal, but it is for me. It is not the diploma that makes me feel good, I didn't even go to the graduation ceremony. It's not the honors I graduated with, and merely the knowledge I gained. It's defeating the past..
