At 50 I quit my job to pursue a life in archeology. Now my life is in ruins.😆 did I do the right thing?

Maybe. At least you have a job that others like too, especially women.

ain;t that the truth

You should have put more thought into this. Maybe you saw an Indiana Jones movie and though that was the way it was going to be?

I changed careers later in life but I picked something that was in demand and had a good probability of success.

If you enjoy archeology then you did the right thing as archeology is all about spending your life in ancient ruins.

If you feel like your life is in ruins because you quit your job to pursue archeology then yes you probably didn't do the right thing. But only time will tell. Stick with it unless you feel you're not able to.

[AI Opinion]

Pursuing a passion, like archaeology, at any age can be fulfilling, despite challenges. Assess how this aligns with your values and long-term goals. Reflect on the skills and experiences gained and explore how they might adapt to your new path. Consider connecting with archaeology communities or professionals for support. It’s essential to find growth in challenges and appreciate the journey itself.

Among other things, artificial "intelligence" has NO ability to recognize humor!

@OlderAndWiser hahahahah thanks for this, It made me laugh

[OlderAndWiser]

@exitseven I'm always glad to inspire a good laugh!

[NoDecision]

@OlderAndWiser They are a joke for sure.

[Asker]

@OlderAndWiser careful, we are in the singularity now. AI might decide to call in a drone strike on ya out of spite.😆

Death to all bots!

You think you're Indiana Jones or some shit? There's not many jobs in that field. Consider yourself lucky if you get paid regularly to teach or do field work by a university, museum, or government.

"my life is in ruins"

"did I do the right thing?"

At 50 years old, you can't answer this, even though you just did?

[OneViewpoint]

Well by definition and your own assessment of your current life, it seems that you've already answered that question for yourself.

[Drumlin2001]

Can you pay the mortgage and put food on the table? Are you and your family happy?

[Anonymous]

Yes you did, because every archaeologist needs to study the ruins :P

[OlderAndWiser]

Some of us appreciate the humor!
