Midlife Crisis

I think I'm having one. Although I feel like I've been having one ever since joining here. I believe there to be no correlation though lol. I post a lot of shit on here. But every so often I get real and want some solid discussion. This is one of those times. This post is probably going to end up just being stream of consciousness stream of fuck really. But been doing some math and realizing I'll be 40 next year has got me really thinking about my future and life. Primarily if I want to keep doing the same occupation for the next 27 years as I've done the past 21 years. Work like a dog for almost 50 years doing something I don't really love -- just to enjoy, if I'm lucky, like 13 shitty years at the end. Seems more and more like a scam. I really have no formal education or training. But my job is so weird and demanding. Anyone go through something similar or change careers late in life? Am I pussy? Is this normal? Any input?

40 is the new 30. You're too young to be having a mid-life crisis. That said, get a motorcycle.

Welcome to the real world homie.
Its going to be ok. You are showing all the symptoms of someone who needs some time to themself. If nothing else, I like take a few tokes while sitting on a creek bank. Nature is calling you.
By the way, I had a midlife crisis at 18 years old, so you are never too young.

I think you’re right on track. Money means nothing if you are in the grave.
You must find out what makes you happy and do it. Make the most of every day-
I went to work one day and nearly never got back home- had a visit from the widowmaker.

You should go for it. Take some classes and invest in your future. Engage your mind and try something different. It is a huge challenge and takes a lot of courage. What do you have to lose?
