He loves the stability of his current job mentoring student reporters, but he can’t stop thinking about starting a new career—in his 50s—in astrophysics, architecture, or law. On this episode of How To!, co-host Courtney Martin enlists career coach and psychologist <a href="https://drdawnoncareers.com/">Dr. Dawn Graham</a> to help Mike think through his midlife career crisis, especially his urge to go back to school. Dawn’s book is <a href="https://drdawnoncareers.com/switchers-the-book/">Switchers: How Smart Professionals Change Careers—and Seize Success</a>.If you liked this episode check out: <a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/how-to/2020/06/linkedin-hello-monday-host-jessi-hempel-on-how-to-get-a-job">Find a New Career Before It's Too Late</a> and <a href="https://slate.com/podcasts/how-to/2021/11/how-to-find-your-dream-job">How To Advance Your Career By Quitting Your Job</a>.Do you have a problem that needs solving?
