UptonSinclair: Your post capped this thread off pretty nicely, however, I did want to respond. 
Thank you for taking the time to post. When I read what you wrote, it was definitely an impactful thought and gave me a way to help gauge what things I would \enjoy/ doing. At this point, no, I do not 'think' computers all day. However I haven't had much education in working with them, so I am looking at saving up for possibly a basic certification, which may also come in handy as a skill for use in another job. It will also help tell me what I like.
If I can have an impact and improvement into kids' lives then I already know that I would enjoy teaching if I can jump all the necessary hoops to get certified.
Finally, USA jobs has given me another wide pool to look into. That could be particularly helpful for people in history. Thank you, I have begun to take a look!
On another note, I know this is not coming from someone experienced, but I would like to say something in encouragement with regards to your being in a field which you despise for 20 years.
And that is, We still do live in America. America, the Home of the FREE and the BRAVE.
We have the ability to choose and do something different in and with our lives. Granted, like I said I'm not coming with a background of lots of work experience but I am someone, who did NOT want to be a life-long learner.
However, the more that I search for a joy-Ful* career and money-making opportunities, I am finding that I have to be adaptable, changeable and increasingly more knowledgeable, in order to get the best possible out of every work scenario.
Perhaps you know, that everyone should be life-long learners, and that's why you're here.
*(Note I don't expect to find fulfillment in a career.)
Thank you for posting,
Best Regards,
Happy INDEPENDENCE Day to Everyone!!! :patriot:
