Late Life Career Changes Prove Some Find New Calling
The article argues young people should pick a vocation by adulthood but acknowledges notable cases of adults over 40 or 50 who switch fields and succeed. It cites F. B. Thurber, Gen. Roger A. Pryor, Judge Samuel F. Miller, and others who started law or medicine late, often after hardship, health, or misfortune. It stresses careful, deliberate change only with weighty reasons, not whim.
