so you only really need to get your career into top gear by 40

Uh?  Oh dear.

I think I had you covered by the "specialist career" comment, you scamp. You'll end up an old hack, all ink-stained fingers and coke-bottle glasses, scribbling away well into your dotage, I'm sure.

Nice one - sounds great. That's actually my one regret: I thought you had to start work on your career when you were 20 so that you were settled by 30. Turns out I was wrong. You might as well start at 30 because early retirement just won't be an option anyway, so you only really need to get your career into top gear by 40, giving you 25 years to build up to packing it in. What a fucking mug I was.

Quite. That said, it's one of my biggest fears, that I've left it too late. I still don't have a buggering clue what I want to "do" in terms of a career. On the plus side, I'm an extraordinary bullshitter and can spin it all round in my favour, and I have formal recognition of two years study at university (meaning I can jump straight in to more or less any third year of a degree if I want to, as long as it's not something like medicine) so from where I'm at, it's not too much work to get a career up and running, but it's working out what I want to do that's the hard thing. Anyway, that's for another thread I suppose.
