Assuming I can motivate myself to be successful in studying a lot of science at my advanced age, I'm considering working towards an associates in 1. chemical technology, 2. nursing, or 3. medical labratory techinician. I say associates because I would like to get back to work as soon as possible, but I would probably advance my degree no matter which I went with. In the case of a medical labratory technician, the four year degree seems to be fairly hard core.
I've had people suggest nursing, but I think I would rather go for something with less direct contact. I've been teaching ESL for about 10 years, and I think I want a break from the intensive contact.
What I worry about is whether anyone would want to hire someone entering the other two fields in their early 40s. I've heard that a lot of people my age in fields such as computer programming don't get calls even though everyone insists there is a great need for programmers.
Does anyone have any insight for me?
