- NEW!
by Capt. Jack Sparrow GALCIY on February 26th, 2008
God I hope you are NOT serious.
Most people who make all the decisions for their entire life before that Learn to regret it at least a little till they've lived a little of life.
It's never too late, just think it through and weigh your options.

It's never too late to do anything. As long as you are fanatic about your career and willing to devote to it, nothing can stop you. Go for it and good luck!
by PinkDaisyGirl Got A Prayer Answered on February 26th, 2008
Of course not. Go for what you enjoy and what you really wanted to do! Good luck! :)
by Galeanda on January 23rd, 2008
It's never too late, even if it's something immense like becoming a doctor. Many people, even those near or at retirement choose to do something different and become very good at it. And 23 is not very old to have had a career before.
by you go girl. lol. on January 23rd, 2008
I wouldn't think so.
You're still young. It would be much better to start a new career now as opposed to later. Much more beneficial.

only if you know that you are going to die at age 24. Change your career and be happy.
by Twhupfold on February 26th, 2008
It's not too late until you're dead ; )
by LiiL MiiSs SexY xXx on February 26th, 2008
No 23 is not late to start a new career. theres people in my college class that are 30+ doing accounts. so they dont think it is 2 late so you shouldnt think this.
by Anonymous on February 26th, 2008
No way. I think it's a great age to start something new :)

It's never too late to start a new career. People start going to college in their 30's and 40's now, and end up getting a degree and going into something that they enjoy much more that what they were doing before.
by Ec-nal Licensed Bootie Inspector on February 3rd, 2008
Nope. Making choices to better your life and lifestyle should always be a concideration.
by Krescentia on February 29th, 2008
Age 23 is definitely not too late. Better to start a new career at that age than to wait until your in your mid 40s and your asking yourself this question again.
by Borderlinux on February 26th, 2008
started mine at 33...then made serious changes and basically started over again at 37.
23? Too late? It's scary you even asked.
Yet it's good you didn't feel compelled to stay in a career you identified as not for you...and it's good you found out this early.
You have plenty of time....heck, you could have a new career for 10 more years and drop it to try another and still be all right.
by scubaduba on February 26th, 2008
I hadn't even started my first career when I was 23, so no, I don't think it is too late. I'm much older than that now trying to start a new career.
by BigDaddyBS on February 3rd, 2008
Are you kidding? Most people of 23 are just out of college and STARTING ANY career. Now would be the time.
by Shaz4726 on January 23rd, 2008
its never to late to start a careeer....
by DukeG on November 8th, 2008
Too late to start a new career? Most people are just starting their first one at that age. Your already ahead of the game.
by pgray1229 on July 26th, 2008
It's never too late!!
by Jimmyp on March 6th, 2008
After working an office job for 10 years I quit my job at 35 and moved to a foreign country and started a new life and new career. I was successful and an extremely happy.
by Complicated on March 5th, 2008
My older sister got her degree when she was 33......after 4 years of study.shes now beginning a new short course to add to it.
by haggis on February 26th, 2008
if so i'm severly screwed
by Jane on February 26th, 2008
is that a joke. you dont even finish grad school til 24/25 so why would that be too late?
by Tempter on February 26th, 2008
God I hope not I'm 29 and changing careers.
by ILuvAnimals on February 26th, 2008
Gosh no! I don't think 83 is too late to start a new career. The most important thing in life is finding something that makes you happy and gives your life some meaning. Go for it and keep trying until you find the right thing.
by look closely it is really me on February 26th, 2008
I think it's far too late, you will be getting your pension in 42 years time, it will fly by. :-)
by Peetee on February 26th, 2008
I started an apprenticeship when I was 28. While at school I met a couple of 40 year olds. What matters is what you want to do. You'll never earn enough money doing what you don't want to do because you simply won't put in as much effort as someone else who loves the same job.
Aim for what you do want to do, regardless of age. 23 is still a young whipper-snapper.
by We miss our girl! on February 26th, 2008
It's never too late! My husband is retiring from his current job in about 6 years (he'll be around 50 then) and wants to go to med school then!
by Pinkheavens on February 26th, 2008
Think of it this way, time will keep passing and you will become 33 and still not have a career and you will think "Is it too late to start now at 33?" Which it wouldn't be... but why wait?
by miRi hates social norms and regulations on February 3rd, 2008
nah. i knew a woman that was a teacher for 20 something years and then became a lawyer. =)
by deltabtry on February 3rd, 2008
No it's never to late, also never limit yourself to time. You are also never to old to learn...NEVER.
by davidbr on November 11th, 2008
I think it is impossilbe to know what you want to do in your early 20s. The fact is, you are young and haven't lived much yet. Part of knowing what you want to do is to do a few different things so you get a sense of what they are really about. You can listen to people talk about different jobs and careers all day but until you give them a shot for yourself, you'll never really know what is right for you. Part of this process is trying some things that don't work. You simply check those off of your list as "not a fit" and move on down the road. They say people switch careers 4-5 times. I think that number will go up drastically for the younger generation. I'm 26 so I am right there with you!

You know, sometimes I find it hard to belive that people can actually be that much into this whole society thing. Before even trying to get an answer for that question, a piece of advice is needed by you, and here it goes: expand your knowledge, set new boundries, and you'll find out, at one point, that you could be more of a human being than what other people want you to be
by Chattie on October 25th, 2008
...ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I know kids who are in their mid 20's and dont even HAVE a career yet, nevermind starting a NEW one! I'm in my early 50's, and I just started a new career 2 yrs go .. and many of my friends are retiring from their 30 some odd year positions, and moving on to do the things they've always dreamed of doing! I say go for it at any age!!
by technios on July 25th, 2008
go for it :D
by strawberry_shake on July 25th, 2008
Is never too late, I've seen Old ladies getting degrees. This people Inspire
by JUGMAN1000 on July 24th, 2008
NO! not at all, what you on about, your 23, christ, your a kid.
by coolcat1234567891011 on July 15th, 2008
No! your never to old to start a new career.
by vtoire on July 15th, 2008
Find something your are passionate about and go for it. I started new jobs in different areas at 22, 23, 25, 27, and it took a while but now i am doing what i love. Do not limit yourself, you are young.
by Anonymous on July 3rd, 2008
not at all!
by Drastic on July 3rd, 2008
Twenty-three? Heck no...in fact it's never too late.
by angelicerin17 on July 3rd, 2008
I hope not! I'm 23 and not done with school yet!
by Vampyre Bat on June 2nd, 2008
I didn't finish my education until I was 27. Some people don't leave Med School until late 20-early 30's. You have a long way to go before you are even on time let alone late.
by Aintthatapip - Kevonian Overlord on June 2nd, 2008
I haven't even started my first one.
by Kevisaurus is a Carnotaurus today on March 8th, 2008
I'm still trying to find a career as I keep starting over again or so it seems.
by Ed the Jetpacking Headbanger on February 3rd, 2008
No, it's good that you realize you want to try a new career at that age. Why get stuck in a career you don't enjoy? Good luck!
by traderkenny on December 24th, 2008
Ooop! hard to believe in your thinking. 23 is really early to get a new career. hope you can change your mind.
by MizzBailey on December 23rd, 2008
No to me it is never too late to start a career, as long as you keep your head up and focus on what you need to do then everything should be just fine. always follow your dream(s) no matter how big they are.
