Hi, when my marriage broke up and I moved away, I had no skills, no degree. It took a while but i built up a career and now am doing well. At first I couldn't actually believe that people wanted to pay me.
Just wanted to give you some encouragement. It's easy to focus on what you don't have, and forget that you belong to one of the most employable, reliable group of people, which is mature women. I mean that as in personality, not age.
Taking on extra study is a great way to enhance what you have.
