[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I guess I'm really down on myself because I've had so many career failures--my whole career is a failure.  I do well in school but not very well in the work environment.  I failed at my legal jobs and I failed at my social work job.

[b]My social work job focused on geriatric case management and counseling.  I loved this field and felt I was very good at it.[/b]  I think it might be hard for me to find a job in geriatric case management with my limited experience though.  I don't have enough experience to start my own business as a geriatric case manager but this is a goal of mine.

Any other suggestions for me?  Some people suggested the policy analyst type positions but honestly this sounds very boring to me.  It sounds like a lot of writing boring research reports--I dread that sort of task.  I like writing but I like writing more practical things, such as assessments, progress notes, etc.

Since you have not worked for 5 years I would recommend looking at non-profits that specialize in elder law/policy/social issues and see if they would be willing to take you on in a volunteer capacity in order to gain some recent and relevant employment experience.[/quote]
