what advice would you guys give to someone who has been wanting to start fresh in their early 30s. not just a pivot, but wanting to start from scratch in a new unrelated field
p.s. the question is not for any specific fields in mind, just wanted to understand people's experiences and perspectives. the good and bad experiences.
Hi everybody, I have a bachelors (2020) and a masters in chemical engineering (2022), two years of work experience as a process engineer in the US (green ammonia, hydrogen, energy field). I'm currently working as a project associate at a university, and for my research I would be getting into air dispersion modeling.
I've been gaining some interest in the research potential of this field the more I read about it, and would ideally like to get my work published and apply for a PhD. Within my professional network, I don't really know anyone who made this switch but I wanted to ask if there is anyone on this subreddit who pivoted from ChemE to Atmospheric Chemistry/Science.
Any insights from anyone who has looked into this or made the switch would also be appreciated!
