My first after school jobs were in retail...and though I went on to do other "careers"...after my children were born I went back into retail (as most mothers will tell you its the only field that really accommodates "mothers" and their schedules)...however I've always loved it and have remained - and moved up - within this field for many years now...

But...

Not sure that at my age I can keep up with the demands of my job...it is a fiercely competitive field, so later hours, weekends, and the pushing from head office to be the "best" is really wearing on me. Budget cuts and recession has made it necessary for one person to do the job of three, so it has become a physically demanding job as well...

Is it too late to decide that i need to do something else?

Put shortly, no....It's never to late to decide on something else.
