Best over 50 career changesHello just read your thread regards retraining as a social worker. I am 49 and been out of work for 18 months after working with offenders for 15yrs. I am interested in putting this experience to good use and social work seems the logical route though it seems that i now need a maths gcse ( i have the old cse grade 2) to get on a uni course which i find a nonsense considering my experience. I would really appreciate any guidance if possible. thanksViewDate:

Best over 50 career changesIt may make you feel slightly better that reading your post was like reading my own ! I am in exactly the same situation having had the same career and experiences and the same age. I feel the same way .... lost and unsure what road to go down even though i know i have a lot to offer. Problem when looking for work is that due to the skill set, you are only ever going to be able to apply for the jobs you now hate so a complete rethink is the only option, though very scary at our age.
