TheSelects with a initially a wrong career

When you're young, turning 30 is a milestone you talk about. "When I'm 30 I'll be a millionaire." "When I'm 30 I'll be married with two kids." "When I'm 30 I'll have my life all figured out, right now I'm just young and having fun." But sometimes those aspirations are not met and we carry around a sense of dejection within us. So I thought of compiling up a list in the of people who peaked after the age of 30. 

If you’re about to turn 30 or are in your 30′s, it’s never too late to change careers or have your success.
