"Might depend on what the new career is but otherwise I'd say if you have the support then go for it!"
Massive change, love nursing but its more about paperwork now than TLC... I got bollocked the other day, I made a paperwork error, crossed it out, initialled it, and got rollocked because I'd crossed it out with TWO lines 
It's a shame and I love it but.. it's not what it used to be.....
I applied to be an apprentice  hairdresser just not sure if I'm too old to cut it no pun.. With the hip youngsters... Plus £100 per week..... |

yeah that's a tricky one but I think if you can find a salon with a good mix of staff age wise then you should be okay.
Good luck x |

No never too old I didn't actually decide what I wanted to do when I grew up till my late thirties but many I was at uni with where older than me.
Go for it life's too short and the working weeks too long to be in a job you don't enjoy |

"No, as long as it is feasible. If it involves a lengthy training period over a few years, then you may question it, but, no, if it feels right then go for it, hun  "

"I also was a nurse till a few years ago
Like left too because of the changes happening at the time
I now work with reptiles and love it

Seriously? Well good for you. Guess its just fear of the unknown, I've been nursing for a long time, although did take a break, and trained as a trampoline and gymnastics coach, absolutely loved that! But I wouldn't have the stamina now I'm afraid |

It's never too late to do it. Hair dresser/stylist is a career you can get into regardless of age. Fashion trends change all the time but as long as you move with the trend and can offer a service that's up to date and competitive there's no reason why you wouldn't be successful 
The only thing i will say is don't kid yourself about the effort & time it's going to take to establish yourself and be prepared for it
Also make sure you take a nurses uniform with you before you leave, preferably one that's a size too small so you're bursting at the seems  |
