Hello I was laid off as a research assistant/project manager in social science research after 29 years. I have a lot of experience but do not have a college degree. I have about 40 credits, but at this time, do not plan on going finishing. I'm single so I do not have anyone to fall back on. I need a job that pays as close as possible to what I was making. Never thought I'd be looking for a new career at 55.
