I replied to the alike thread before. It's never too late. It's a risk. You might be happier, you might not. I switch from teaching after 10 years to engineering with a newborn on the tow. I am happier as I have more time. Teaching these days takes too much of time and mental energy.

i have never really liked my industry but i told myself earlier on that i should build up some savings before trying anything drastic. Just like that 10 years have since passed and I'm finally near running out of patience with work.

Is it still realistic to attempt a change in career path?

Yes, no issue! nod.gif
And since you mentioned that you dislike your industry, it's better to make a move sooner than later.
Life is just too short to have regrets. wink.gif

Of course - be brave. Go for it!

Most of the jobs that people will be working in 10 + years from now hardly exists today.
