Default Career Change at 52

So here is the spiel.... 52 years of age, been in IT for over 25 years. The last 8 years in senior management / sales and the 8 before that in straight sales.

Guess what? I don't enjoy it and haven't enjoyed it for the last 2 or 3 years.

Am I crazy to think that I need a change of scenery? Like a change of industry. I've always been drawn to building industry, particularly in the last 7 or 8 years.

I've done a lot of contract negotiation, project management, general management and leadership which I have been told is strongly required in building and construction management.

Thoughts are to do a course in Building and Construction Management and to try and get into the industry with construction management, project management, site manager etc.

Am I out of my mind? But I am quite unhappy what I'm doing now.....
