My dad made the same career change at about the same age. He enjoys it. As CCTX says, the biggest challenge is figuring out how to eat healthy and exercise. 6 months of truck stop food and small town diners will have you on the verge of a grabber.

IT work is completely thankless. You gotta have thick skin to be the guy that everybody loves to hate.

I'm the opposite. IT work has been my only job since I graduated college. At 62, I've got 3 1/2 more years until I take my last on call weekend.

Good luck! Can't imagine that kind of change. I'm sure it'll be great.

Just heard this morning about a guy I went to school with-
We weren’t close but he was a good guy-
Worked the same place for thirty five years(unusual these days for sure)
Just retired January 9th, heart attack killed him two days ago-
All that planning, doing things right, retire early and only get to enjoy a couple of weeks of retirement-
I thought of this post-
Good for you on the career change, I hope it’s what you want-
We never know-
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

Made the same move at 52 myself. What I have found that works for me about eating healthy and exercise, 30 min of walking a day and Keto and go at lease 12 hours between meals, if you snack a lot you are spiking your insulin every-time you do which will make it hard to not gain weigh. I gained 65 lbs in two years Blood pressure was way up and my legs where losing circulation and becoming discolored after 9 months I'm back to my old weigh, legs are good and my Blood pressure is way down. Good luck and be safe out there. YMMV
Wishing I was Fishing :]@------------- <)))))><
