Abstract
As some people approach midlife, they find their careers less interesting, stimulating, or rewarding and begin to think about having a second career. Before making the choice to start a new career or remain with the organization, managers must consider: family responsibilities; the risk of losing one''s present job; the possibility of losing status in the community; the time it will take to cultivate clients; the amount of freedom and autonomy the new career will afford; the necessity of talking about one''s feelings; the potential of a new career to bring one closer to one''s spouse; and the importance of trying to keep options open.
