I have a job where I sit most of the time. As I am embarking on this journey I am contemplating a new career where I can be more active. The downside is starting over in a new career at age forty. Thoughts?

contemplating a new career where I can be more active. new career at age forty. ???

bankladyt

have you worked at the bank for a long time??? are you happy with it???

if you want to start a new life with your pending WLS - thats great

i don't "think" you need to start a new career to work with WLS to be more active

if you are primarily concerned about being more active - thats great, but doesn't have to pertain to your job

good luck with your decision

40 years old???

you are still a spring chicken

you can/should become more active with exercise, walking et al

don't know when you are having WLS???

good luck

If you like your job, keep it! Jobs are hard to come by. Workout or go for a walk on your off time.

In this economy, if I wasn't in law enforcement where apparently the job market is great since most departments are hiring like mad right now, I'd find a job and stick with it. There's too much uncertainty out there for me.

Thanks everyone for your input. I must say, I think you are right about keeping my job. it is a great job, and would be hard to replace. Sooo now I will just hope to win the lotto.

I work for a gov agency and we have what's called active living at work. The idea is sit stand walk. We have walking meetings, sit to stand desks, printers located far away so you have to walk and a variety of activities organized at work. Consider standing when you are on the phone. I have a program in my pc that recognizes when I've been mousing, reading or typing for extended periods of time and pops up to say "hey, go for a walk" or "try this stretch."

Having a job you like is one of the healthiest things you can do.
