[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a teacher and have been out of work for almost 20 years... now I want to go back into something (not teaching) but have no idea what to do. Parttime would be great! Any ideas?

I feel you. People [b]who have not been out of work for that long don’t understand.[/b] You could take a few classes and such and try to get into curriculum design.
If you want to start slow, any school office job would do,  but it’s hard to get hired.[/quote]

I mean she was essentially semi retired once kids went to school. Any job will feel like a hardship. And employers know that you don’t have to work and probably don’t even like working that much when your absence is 2 decades.

Maybe they are wrong, but about 60% of SAHM quit after returning to work because it’s kind of sucky starting at the bottom in your 40s/50s unless it’s a pure passion job.

Your best bet is simply doing a job you care about, that you have an affinity for that you can build relationships within and truly fuel your passion.

You were a teacher but do not want to teach? Do you still feel passion for education or caring for children?  Were you a STEM teacher, maybe could work at a tech education non profit? Or you want a complete pivot to stock trading, as day trading was your pandemic holiday.

But just signing up for #randomjob and angling for part time will have the stink of the short timer.
