They are what used to be called a temp agency. I did admin (secretarial) work for them in the late 1980s and it was great. You can request long or short assignments and the like. Plus they do have some training/education offerings. Might be a good place to start, even if it's only for a while.<br /><br />Good Luck!Ynothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121161059514673314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11438332.post-11449395534848401302015-04-28T16:28:52.636-07:002015-04-28T16:28:52.636-07:00I think that the only way you will find a job that...I think that the only way you will find a job that will give you 8+ weeks off a year is to work for yourself. With the awful economy and the new healthcare laws here in the US, most employers are not hiring full time employees, so they don't have to provide benefits - which includes vacation time. Honestly, most full time jobs here start off with 1-2 weeks vacation time per year and it is a VERY rare job that offers 8 weeks vacation without 30+ years on the job(if even then!). What so you love to do? How can you do that while being an independent contractor or sole proprietor? Are you really too old to go to graduate school? My dad graduated from law school at 48 years of age and he is still practicing law at 94. I graduated with my Master's Degree when I was 50 while my mom got her Master's at 57...so are you really too old?Farm Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01670652033638218941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11438332.post-90586857493473248912015-04-28T08:01:34.539-07:002015-04-28T08:01:34.539-07:00Self employment, of some form?
