Pattie Ehsaei – better known as TikTok’s “Duchess of Decorum” – explains how she’s amassed nearly 1 million followers on social media, largely because of her age and experience.
The reason – as my grandfather used to say – is that you can’t buy gray hairs at the corner market. At 48, I had one thing the 22-year-olds did not and could not have: wisdom. That only comes with age.
They didn’t know the first thing about how to apply for a job, how to ask for a raise, how to structure their finances, or recognize red flags in relationships. I did! So, while they were busy dancing and posing, I was busy teaching.Our biggest advantages in midlife and beyond are experience and expertise. By the age of 50, most of us have likely accumulated a wealth of experience and knowledge from our previous careers that are transferable to almost anything else we choose to do.
Another advantage of midlife is achieving financial stability. By this age, many of us have paid off our mortgages, sent our kids to school, paid the student loans, and have reached a level in our careers which affords us a comfortable life. Lastly, by the age of 50, we have often built a robust professional network through our previous career. This network can be leveraged when transitioning to a new field, providing access to valuable connections, potential mentors and job opportunities.
