I'm 45 and I've been working in corporate all my life, it's a stable line of work, stress free to a degree, but I still have plans to become a full time "hands on" directly in design. I still need to learn all the skills. But I plan to become an art director or creative director. Not sure if my corporate background in package production management will help me, even though there's quite a bit of digital involved in my work these days, but I hope all I have learned will help fulfill my plan on doing something "fun" in the years to come in my career. I went back to school a few years ago to learn motion design for example. It's a fast changing world, you always have to be re-inventing yourself and be in "next generation" mode. I think that is what keeps you going.
