Never you let anybody discourage you by saying you are too old or that it is not possible to switch career at your age, except you are one of those that hang their life totally on luck or fate. With enough passion, energy, focus, good strategy and most importantly PERSEVERANCE, anything is possible to the man who believes he can. There is always a way round every challenge we face daily. Stories and biographies abound everywhere (especially in America) of people rising to beat the odds that stand in the way of their greatness. Certainly, you are up against a host of others who may be more advantaged by reason of their age or some other factors, but I challenge you NEVER to give in to rejections from prospective employers. These challenges are a normal part of life meant to test you if you can stand as a rock and get what you want no matter the circumstances. “Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside of them was superior to circumstances” - Robert Collier
If we need to select the most mysterious member of the year, I would vote for step.
Now try to do this step (“Back to the lab”) and make sure the pace is kept and this ain’t as smooth as I’ma get Nice and easy but hard to catch on to Move with melodies, rhymes to respond to The mic’s in front of me, so you know it’s gonna be rough and rugged, plus I’m smooth as I wanna be I’m somethin like sippin on Dom Perignon So absorb the song, til the rhyme’s all gone My beats and speech original, you can’t find these Eighty-nine is mine, so is the nineties Tellin you what you need to know and more You’re unsure? On tour, I explore From street to street, to speak, from beat after beat My cypher’s complete, when I build with people I meet So here’s the info straight from the source in fact Paid the cost to be the boss, STEP BACK give me room to exercise the mind Three-hundred and sixty degrees’ll be fine The weight of the world is what we hold That’s a six, followed by twenty-one zeroes Six sextillion tons is a lot of weight My truth is the strength and my thought won’t break What it take, concentration, to rebuild our nation but we got to have mind power And we can make it work, because I know we can And if somethin go wrong, make another plan It’s up to us, so strive and be wise and when we reach the top, don’t stop risin And I’ll keep comin up with more of the most requested songs that you all love Reach out and touch the mic, take control Still gettin +Paid+ and I still got +Soul+ And the only thing I ever wanted you to follow was poetry Mine takes X-rays, so listen closely From the darkness came the light, clear out of a dark night Now I’m here to spark the mic Send out truth, for other groups and substitutes with run-on rhymes and weak dubs and loops They’d rather hear the arsonist, they insist No need to reminisce, see if you can step to this

Networking and knowing what you want is the key - you’ll get there, just don’t expect it to happen tomorrow - and realize that there may have to be an intermediate step along the way.
