Sonia, Corona, Ca asked Patricia Galloway, Pegasus Global Holdings, Inc. AddedThursday, June 25, 2015 at 9:57 PM Advice for a gracefully seasoned student Thank you first of all for being so inspiring. I am a single mother that pretty much struggled through just keeping a roof over our heads, now 2 of my 3 children are off on their own, and I have worked in and around construction all of my life and I love the fast pace and challenges of the industry. My question to you is I am now 44 years old and just gonna start my path to my engineering degree and love the construction management aspect of it all. I want to be out in the field but at my age I feel as if I may have missed the boat here. Any advice for an gracefully seasoned student?

Answered Thursday, June 25, 2015 at 9:57 PM First-my apologies for taking a month to respond! I am getting married on August 28 (at 58 years old!) and thus my life has been a bit turned upside down in all the things I have to prepare for plus my normal work activities! Yes-my advice to you-GO FOR IT!!! You are NEVER too late to change careers and do what you love to do! In fact, at age 55 I decided to do a change in what I did. While still in engineering, I gave up my career as an expert witness of over 25 years and decided I wanted to be an arbitrator. I went back to school at Pepperdine Law School to get a Certificate in Dispute Resolution. I then went to Oxford to get my Diploma in International Commercial Arbitration!. You should always pursue your dreams and you should dream for the rest of your life! Construction has no age barriers and you as a woman have so many potential opportunities. I would be interested in your specialties that you are interested in and maybe I can potentially guide you. I wish you the very best and please let me know what you decide to do!”
