<p>performersmom, I agree with fendrock that part time is a good place to start. I went back to work after 18 years as a SAHM. I started out as Christmas help for a retailer at the local mall because I couldn’t think of any other job that I would be qualified for. After 2 years I was promoted to a full time management position, with great benefits as well. It’s not a glamorous high paying job, but it is fun, physically demanding (which to me is a plus most of the time), and helps pay for a good chunk of college expenses. Plus I now have current managerial experience to put on a resume, so I’m in a better position if I ever have to be looking for a job again.</p>
<p>My past work experience was with accounting systems on pcs when pcs were just starting to be used in businesses. I did installations, data transfers, training, networking and software support, a little programming, and all kinds of good stuff, but after 18 years of technology advancing, all that experience is pretty worthless, so I was basically starting from scratch.</p>
