Sometimes its just burn-out. So perhaps you need a change in your life. Some take off to India. Other join vounteer programs in the USA. But the point is to answer that age old question someone probably asked you when you were 12 years old "what do you want to do with the rest of your life".. Sounds familar even OVER 40!
As the NYTIMES points out:
"Tari Marcou, 54, of Hamilton, Ohio, was working as a program coordinator for an adult leadership program at Ohio State University several years ago when she realized she needed a midcareer break. Her children were grown, and she was able to sell her house for a profit. She gave her dog and her furniture to her daughter for safe-keeping and started a gap year that included time at a meditation retreat in France, organic farms in Italy and a wildlife awareness center in South Africa.
After returning to the United States, she was approached about a new job at Ohio State “for a sizable increase in salary” she said. Instead of pursuing the job, she parlayed her passion for travel into a new career by becoming a certified tour director. “I feel like I finally found where I need to be,” she said.
