If you enjoy it, you then have an idea of what it is like and you can pursue it further. I think you can still change careers in your 50s if you really want. It just takes willingness to change. An internship is another great way to try out a career if you have the time and can afford to do this. A good way to figure out what you want to do is to take a class in it.

It's not so much they disliked their careers as they saw some other careers as more attractive. For example, one person I know really should have become a professor. Instead they are now in their 50s just waiting for retirement in another decade. As a young adult who is just starting my career, I definitely will try to be more open about switching careers if it seems like the right thing to do.
