Have you ever done that? People who once were managers that become bakers or stories like that? There's ever been in your like a moment you stopped and thought hey it's nto what I want and you restarted from scratch, but on something totally different?

I suppose I did. I was a factory manager for over 30 years but towards the end of my career I started to train as a housemaid. I have worked as a maid and a cleaning lady many times and while I enjoyed my job as a manager I also really enjoy being a maid. I am also a semi-professional writer. For each activity I use a different name. My "maid" name I use here.

I haven't really tried that and the main reason for that is I know what I want for myself and I have made the right choice. People who make the wrong choice before tend to rectify it after a while and say that they reinvented themselves but in reality they now realized what they really want to do.

I haven't really done that...But I'm thinking about it already. I'm a licensed nurse and I just realized that nursing is not really what I want. I am more interested in graphics and web designing. I'm already thinking of attending seminars regarding designing. It's really hard because it takes a lot of hard work before you reach where you are now...and then you will suddenly go back to zero and start all over again.
