Using the Skills

I have two more years before I turn 50.  This can be a fairly big time for those with a day job.  I've known friends that changed careers at about that time.  I'm considering doing this for my own reasons.  They spring from the realization that I have a finite number of years left in the work-a-day world.  I've got a pretty unique set of credentials that can take me in a number of directions.  Right now I'm in validation as a Software Compliance Analyst.  I do well at it, but I could do more what what I know and what I'm capable of.  Now is the time to make a change!  Then, hopefully, I can stay put while I ride out my final years in the job market.
