“MY MESSAGE for
people who are in their 50s
or 60s or even older is we
sometimes have the mistaken
impression that we have one shot
at it and if we screw up we’re done
for. And that’s so not true,” says
Jane Pauley, former host on NBC’s
Today and Dateline.
Pauley, 61, a Costco member,
considers herself an example of
reinvention, even if she’s still appearing
on television. But she is doing
something different now, a monthly
segment on Today called Your
Life Calling with Jane Pauley,
in which she profiles people
over 50 who have
reinvented themselves.
