HiReturning to Work
Well! It seems that my life of retirement is about to come to an end. For the last 2 years I have been able to live on my husband's survivor death benefits but those are about to run out. It makes me sad to have to return to the work force. I have loved being home and doing what I want to do. It has also been difficult because I have never really discovered what I wanted to be when I grow up. So. . . While it isn't the most glamorous job, I think I will probably work as a home health aide. I like being able to help those that can't help themselves. I find that I am more patient with them because I know that they are vulnerable and they need someone to watch out for them and protect them. It is something that I have done in the past and that I have enjoyed and that is important, too. So. . . here's to returning to work. I'm off so wish me luck!

You will probably enjoy work even more this time around. I wish you all the best.
Just an aside... Remember the community colleges offer vocational degrees that only take a little money and time to complete to earn a certificate. They have hundreds of programs from which to choose. It could be fun to look into one of them as well. The Career and Development Department has tests that you can take to find out want vocation would suit you as well. Be sure to give them a little peek, too. I wish you all the best on the next part of your journey. Karean
Welcome to the club. I tried to retire in 2003 and only worked as a workamper. In other words, I volunteered at RV parks and the National Park Service in exchange for a full hook-up camp site. Hubby had a heartattack a couple of years ago and I had to return to work to get the medical insurance. He is 64 and I am 62. We aren't eligible for Medicare yet. I work at a hospital and enjoy helping people that need help too. My hubby doesn't have life insurance any longer, but I do still have him.
Wishing you ALL the BEST! Have a Great Day! Carol
