<prompt> Human: Hi Everyone,If this is the wrong sub--or if theres a better place to post this--please let me know.Debt free. Married with one child. Weve got about 150k in savings, Im 32 and I still dont have a career that I enjoy.The money we have is enough to be able to start over should I decide to and its a question Ive been toying with. In other words, getting another education--something that is a better balance of salary and joy than my current career path IT project manager.Problem is, I still dont know what I want to do--which is how I ended up in my current career path in the first place. My current bachelors is in Anthropology.My passions: I like to create design, build I like to be active outdoors, everyday-is-a little-different, some travel required; I like languages currently two fluently, and a good foundation in about 3 others Ive considered branches of law enforcement: DEA; FBI; CBP; ICE.Im not entirely keen on starting off with 30k a year considering we have a newborn and dont yet own any property...but at the same time I dont think i can handle staying in my current path for too much longer. Any suggestions for what to pursue?  <response>: Look, here is the deal.What you like and what makes money are unfortunately not aligned in 90 of the cases. There are several ways out:- Get a very early head start, work your butt off, FIRE Financial Independency, Retire Early by mid 30s, and then pursue your passions.- Work a job, and your passions become your hobbies.- Work a part time job, and use one of your passions as a monetizing side business.150K is not remotely close to FIRE. You need at least 2m today. So that leaves you with the later two options.What you describe as passions are abstract concepts. Abstractions are good until your early 20s. By your mid 20s, those abstractions better have exact and explicit names that translate to potential career choices. In your early 30s, you better be well into one of those careers gaining more knowledge and expertise.Also: Even though you like something and are good at it, you still need to spend a few years so someone will pay you top dollar. No one is going to throw money around on unproven stuff in todays world. At 32, when you talk about starting over, you are talking about relinquishing all those years worth of expertise you have gained already for which people are already paying you the top dollar.Finally: IT is still wild wild west. I was just taking a refresher online course, and that course had some interesting tidbits on the history of the Internet. It really shocked me how young the Internet really is I mean I knew it, but for some reason, it sunk in today morning too deeply. The first commercial Internet was opened up in 1989, and the domain name registry management body sprung up in 1998. The Internet is still a young padawan and has a long way to go. This means your major doesnt matter - the IT field is overflowing with people all across majors our director majored in history and French...no kidding. There is no reason to feel out of place.
