I want to work in Funds!!

Franko43

Hi All
Over this past number of years I've put together a portfolio of funds and I've found that I really really enjoy picking funds, looking at companies in the funds and how they are performing and reading up on the macroeconomic + political tensions in each area. I would really like to get into this area. The problem is I’m now 34 and have circa 10 years experience as an IT Business Analyst, Project Manager/Consultant but I feel I’m too old to retrain and get into this area. I suppose I have dealt with large Blue Chips if that’s of any use. Ideally – I’d love to be a Fund Manager but I feel I’ve made the wrong career move into IT and it’s too late possibly to move into this area. Appreciate any comments from anyone who is in this space right now and if I’m completely mad please tell me now.

Why do you think you're too old to re-train? If you're worried that the people who would employ/train you would think this, then they won't take you on. If they do take you on for training, then they don't think you're too old.
The world is full of people who wish they'd done something and didn't take the chance - in the end, you only regret the things you didn't have a bash at.
