17 years abroad as a Tefl teacher – what do I do now?

I spent 17 years abroad as a Tefl teacher – what do I do now?
I thought of accountancy – or catering, but that could be very stressful. I feel my age and lack of skills are against me.

After 17 years in Taiwan as a Tefl teacher, I made the break. I could never face teaching again, and need a complete change. As I spent so much time abroad I had little chance to try other careers and now after a year I can only come up with accountancy or perhaps catering. I do know that cooking professionally can be very stressful and nothing like doing it at home, so I’m not even sure about doing that.

I did inquire about being a gas engineer at a college, but I was told that finding full-time employment at the end of the £7,000 course was virtually impossible. I’m tired of being stuck at home and don’t know how to find a job. Without a skill and at my age nobody will consider me.

Advice can be posted here.

He could write for the Japan Times. You don't even need to live there or understand the language to qualify.

I once read an article in the JT by a recently forcefully repatriated Canadian Uber-Journalist that hardly qualified as a schizoid's diagnosis diary. It almost made me think that crazed Mexican twat that writes about The Other Japan was a good writer.

Since I am unemployed.....................do they pay????

And if so, do they pay well?
