Jane Mail, By Jane E. Brody - 979 Words

As people get older, life can get more complicated. When one ages, one is more prone to more negative experiences such as death of loved ones or an incident that is life changing. According to this article written by Jane E. Brody, such experiences can effect one’s ability to work the same job they have been working for 30 plus years (2016). However, many as a society hold the assumption that older adults lack the ability to recreate their vocational experience and instead should â€Å"settle down† and retire. Realistically, however, many older adults are not economically stable to retire. Jane E. Brody argues that changing your career to something that is fulfilling to an aging adult can not only be possible, but highly satisfying and beneficial. The overall theme for this article is â€Å"re-creating yourself† and the stories of older adults who have bravely chosen a different path of employment (of interest) after having done something different for over decad es. Used as one example in the article was Dr. Kenneth Jaffe, a former practicing doctor who left his profession to raising and selling natural grass fed beef (Brody,2016). By incorporating his love of sustainability, he was able to start a cooperation, even at the age of 55. Such actions can challenge a preconceived notion one may have of you based on your previous employments. As humans, we make heuristics (short-cuts) so we are able to quickly transition to new aspects presented to us in life (Henrie,2016).Show MoreRelated Stratospheric Ozone Depletion and Its Effect on Skin Cancer Incidence2712 Words   |  11 Pageseliminated production of 21 ozone d epleting chemicals by 1996 (under the Copenhagen Amendments).
