35-year-old as a turning point for job affiliation

One-sixth of workers who are older than 35 feels unhappy to their job, according to a study recently conducted in the UK.

People start hating their jobs at 35, shows new research

Thousands of the UK workers were subjected in this survey. Meanwhile, less than ten percents of participants answered they were unhappy in the workers younger than 35.

It suggests 35-years-old is a turning point in which people begin to hate their job. Although I have not read the original paper of this survey, this result seems to be consistent with my impression.

There are some reasons why people tend to lose willingness to their work at 35. In middle age, many workers have to change their lifestyle. Some are promoted to an executive position. Some need to take leadership. And, some are forced to compromise their ideology for reward. Also, some face shortcomings of their job and workplace.

In addition, they have to reconsider the life-work balance. Nurturing children is a tough task more than most works. In some cases, parents and grandparents meet the mortality.

In younger age, workers only need to work, obeying the order of their boss. But in middle age, you have to examine the value of your work. Sometimes, you need to change the policy of working. Making a change always brings some kind of conflict.

These various factors make workers at 35 unhappy, even if they are enthusiastic about their job performance.

I am 42-year-old. Reminding my previous decade, I was wondering how to live in later life. Now, I have no regret about my decisions made in the past. Expect for life afterward.
