<prompt> Human: Im stuck at a 40kyear job, which I can probably tolerate until retirement 62 but wonder if there might be another way for me. Im married, husband is 15 years older than me, he makes about 50k. We have no debt, cars paid off, no kids, 80k in savings, but we rent a house 1000 a month. I have an Associates, and tried out nursing, accounting, engineering, and social work. None were for me. Thinking about going back for maybe computers, or English degree, but Im nearing my 40s. Any ideas? Would love to make 60-90k a year. But school would cost 40k. Is it worth it at this age?Assistant: Absolutely it is. Its really not about the money. Find a career path that youre happy doing. It sounds like youre not really all that content with your job. Figure out what you wanna do, and do it! Human: Thanks for the encouragement. It cant be something in healthcare, unless its acupuncture. The problem is I dont know what to do. I lean towards English or RhetoricPhilosophy because I like writing. Or something artistic. I dont want to waste money, many people make it without college. Just want to hear stories of people who went back to school in their 40s, what they studied, and did they regret it.  <response>: I am sorry, but English and Philosophy are not really known as the best earning fields. You could try to make money of writing online though as it is, as a side hustle, though. If want to earn more money, you could also think about buying a fixer upper and putting sweat equity into it, if you love DYIing. Just thinking out of the box inhere, because a stable job is nothing to sneeze on these days :.
