“Is it just too sad to be over 40 and still figuring out what you want to be when you grow up?” This question came from a woman in a job-seekers coaching group I co-lead. “Who do you want to be?” is a question we ask of young people until they’re about 23, when we suddenly stop and assume this decision has been made.
