If aging could be reversed, how would that affect your career(s)?

Question

If there's a way to become as healthy as you were in your 20s and you could stay healthy like that forever, would you pursue a university education in another field?Would you switch careers often? And if so, after how many years for each one?

I think &ldquo;it&rsquo;s too late&rdquo; is not a positive mindset, it does get harder to transition careers as time goes on but with rare exception (pro athlete), it&rsquo;s usually achievable.I don&rsquo;t think &ldquo;reversing aging &ldquo; would really help like you think it might. It&rsquo;s not so much that people aren&rsquo;t strong enough, or capable of switching careers, after a certain age. It&rsquo;s that it becomes more risky as you settle down.It&rsquo;s easy to take risks when you are single and are living modestly. It gets harder if you get married, it gets harder if you own a home, it&rsquo;s gets even harder if you have kids. Reversing you age isn&rsquo;t going to lessen these responsibilities, other than waiting it out until your kids are self-sufficient, then you might be more willing to take risk again.

Hmm. Instead of answering, you might read a book called The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August.
