• There's no expiration date on finding your aligned career path

Featured career changers:

Vera Wang

She didn't design her first dress until age 40, after careers as a figure skater and Vogue editor for 17 years. When planning her own wedding and feeling frustrated by available options, she created her own dress, which sparked the idea for her business. Her previous fashion industry experience gave her unique insights despite having no formal design training, leading to her billion-dollar empire.

Martha Stewart

Martha transformed from a model to a Wall Street stockbroker before starting a catering business from her basement at 35. She published her first book at 41 and eventually became America's first self-made female billionaire at 58. 

Diane von Fürstenberg

After creating her iconic wrap dress in the 1970s, von Fürstenberg faced significant setbacks and had to step away from fashion in the 1980s. She later rebuilt her brand in her 50s, proving that careers can have multiple chapters and that comebacks are possible at any stage.

Colonel Sanders

At 65, when most people retire, Sanders lost his restaurant to an interstate bypass. Instead of giving up, he traveled the country pitching his chicken recipe, facing 1,009 rejections before his first success. He ended up building KFC into a thriving business by his mid-70s.
