Of course. Because everyone knows how easy it is to start a new
career in mid-life.

Idiot.


Actually, I highly recommend it.

I did it. So have most of my colleagues.



...because life as a DJ/"on air talent" had become miserable, right?



Actually, no.




Your new career is very very closely related to the old one.
Voice-over talent for ads, club remotes, etc., all involve the same
skills you used in your old career: audio mixing, proper mic
technique, "The Voice," and so on. You simply aren't doing it
directly for broadcasting -- you tape a spot, or do your show to a
live audience instead.


It's not like you became an actuary and had to acquire an entirely new
set of skills.



Oh...Then I must have picked up the aerial photography by osmosis.
Thanks. I was wondering about that.
