A woman in her early 60s, who recently received notice that her job would end due to the current federal financial situation, has been unable to find work due to her husband's inability to work remotely or move. She has been applying for jobs close to home or remote, but has received no offers. She worries that she may get bored and find it difficult to maintain a busy schedule and maintain a balanced perspective on her new life. The author suggests that while the job market is difficult, your worth is not defined by your work, and consider consulting friends and family who have changed careers later in life for guidance.
