Hi.

I can understand your situation where you worked for so many years to support your family and not really had the opportunity to follow your passion.

If your family’s financial condition is stable now, then you can consider starting your own business. It comes with its own risks but it will be an enriching experience.

You can also consider areas like teaching or social work for the next phase of your career.

Ans:

Hi.

Your question has so many ‘I can't’ statements that you have yourself ruled out many feasible options.

Please remember that, in the job market, there are many more qualified people than there are decent jobs. So you will certainly need to change your mindset and be flexible to adapt and learn new skill sets.

Even Sachin Tendulkar had to adapt to T-20 to play the IPL!

Approach the situation with a positive mindset and things will work out for you.

Ans: Leverage your skills in managing the play school at a relelvant place. Get a job at another play school, school etc. People with skill and hunger to do something are an asset for every organization. So dont loose heart and search for a job.

Ans: Well there is no age to start a business and there are many case studies of late starters who built multi billion dollar empires. See what skills you can leverage and plunge in. However, invest only in a way that even if you loose the investment, your basic livelihood would not be impacted.
