Thread Name: BS: Late career move- how to?
Subject: RE: BS: Late career move- how to?
IS there an employment centre nearby? If so, try taking an aptitude test, one that shows up what kinds of jobs you have the skills and talent for. I did that once when I was trying to figure out what to get into. I was amazed at the list of types of jobs it came up with, with ratings for how well I'd be for each type. I ranked really high for being a veterinarian or funeral director! Must be the empathy!
Also, as skipy said, what have you done up to now? Are there other ways to rework that into a larger market or doing it for some other company? Do you have a degree, or, are you interested in going back to school? Is there funding for older workers which would help pay for such?
