I'm a 52-year-old woman at a major crossroads in my career. After decades in the workforce, I now have two very different job offers: one as an insurance adjuster with great pay, but brutal hours and constant travel, and another as a compliance analyst—lower pay, fewer hours, but much less job security. Talking to people my age, I hear everything from "money isn't everything, focus on happiness" to "you need to pay the bills, happiness comes second." My own family is split—my husband says go for the money, but my sister urges me to protect my health and sanity. Honestly, I'm torn. I worry about burning out in a high-stress job, but I'm also anxious about financial security and being let go in a less stable role. Has anyone else faced this dilemma in their late forties or fifties? What would you do if you could go back? I could really use some advice right now. 🙏 #CareerChoices #WorkLifeBalance #Over50
