Hi Susie,
Just now noticed this earlier post of yours. You're now 
53, &
my! you're so pretty, & Enthusiastic, I wish you ALL the Best...
Too having read your Profile & Intro, I notice we're 
lots...alike.
(except for loving beaches, & horseback skills) - Yes,
Sarasota is just north of St. Pete: were we neighbors, lol
 
Hey, you can help me with my pooter-skills; don't ask me how LOL
 
Say, in 3 yrs. you'll be done, just pass them BOARDS, 
before almost 60 Why?
'Age-descrimination' : (in this no!-job economy) is 
rampant. Factually, it's rabid.
Meaning employers will ask: 
No experience?, & Medicare-age? - but you want me to HIRE 

 you? 
um, do pray tell ------> why should I do that?? - but Sir, 
you say 
I CARE, & want to do God's Will. - yeah, 
competitively, it doesn't pass muster, sadly.

okay: using myself as another example:
1. I have 
30+yrs. experience, in so many specialties, 
that I keep deleting... 

 just to fit my Resume one ONE page.
&
2. I have a thick 3-ring binder full of excellent Recommendations, 
incldg. DSHS-survey for "Excellent skills & High client satisfaction": uncommon.
&
3. I have given 
more years in Community-service,
than I ever got a paycheck for, because of my ongoing LOVE-affair with life, & 
my ability to 'seize the moment' if you know what I mean, re Social-Projects...
&
4. tho chronologically near 60, I cont. starting most days with my OFF-ice (skating-moves): 
Outside spread eagles, & Split-FLEXability exercises for 
my Biellmann spiral, & Spins in socks on the kitchen-floor, before then Jump-roping,in prep for practicing my Waltz-jumps, & Loops... 

 iow, like a 23 yr. young kid.
 
So it was only natural that until 5 yrs. ago, any employer seizing my Resume, & 
chatting with me for less than 10 minutes, asked: 
Name your salary 
 & Can you start TODAY? 

well,
that was then, & this is now. - Susie, the last 5 Interviews I had, they said: "Sadly, you're over-qualified". 
tho this is true.
The real-reason, they're hiring 25 year olds, & you can't prove: is 
Age-descrimination.
