No one more personifies the idea of a mid-life career changer than Patrick Dennis a.k.a. Edward Everett Tanner III. What ? name doesn't ring a bell?
Remember Auntie Mame ? The story was that a young "poor little rich boy" is sent to live with his very eccentric, life-loving aunt--where she really teaches him how he is loved and how to really live. The famous movie from the 50's starred Rosalind Russell
After he could no longer count on his "muse" he became a professional butler.
He always learned how to adapt---I guess he really took to heart "Life is a banquet and most poor bastards are starving to death".
