Career change at 52?

Get the kids through college and/or on their adult paths and then switch careers if you still want to. You only have a few years left with the kids still at home - don't miss them. If the years are tough, you'll need to not be awol at school and trying to start a new career. And, not to be intrusive (too much), but the next several years are dangerous ones for marriages. Assuming things are stable right now, it can be tough as the kids transition out of the house; then you and your wife will have to decide if you still like each other when there are no distractions left to camouflage cracks in the foundation.
