Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

In the mean time I've seen students in their 50's make a succesful careerswitch. It's scary, it's risky and you have to start at the bottom again, but it's certainly not impossible.
Heh, I'm actually doing that right now, and I'm 57.
Wish you good luck!
Thanks!
I want to add onto this
You don't start from the bottom. All the knowledge and skills you've had are still there. What that does mean, is that now you can be interdisciplinary. Which can be immensely useful
Dunno if you're at the absolute bottom. A lot of careers would appreciate the professional/business experience anyway, especially interchangable skills.
