Great question because employers are reluctant to hire people who have been self-employed for a long time. They want yes-men. In any company, your years of experience should be equivalent to an upper management position. I would shoot for something like that.
Reply:Here's a plan for you. Go to a public community college or university and get an accounting degree. Enjoy your time and have a part-time job like at the school library and a book keeping job in the summer. Do internships. When you graduate you can either get a job in accounting or find a masters in library science program and go there for two years. You'll earn $30-40 thousand as an accountant or librarian. Pretty good jobs.





Or you can go to a community college and study to be a radiology technician or dental hygienist. It's only 2-3 years. You'd make $30-40k as a rad tech and $40-50k as a dental hygienist.





It seems like you'd do okay if you worked in a grocery store or something related to retail.





Or you can just find some kind of secretary, mail-room, or janitor job for the county or state and work for ten or fifteen years and it'll probably be enough time to collect a small pension when you leave. I had a relative who did this.





With the way real estate prices have gone you probably would have had a lot more money if you'd retired now wouldn't you? What made you retire at 41 and why do you need a job now? I'd want to have $2-3 million to retire at that age so I could live off the interest or dividends. Are you just getting a job to stay busy? Are you single or do you have a family? You're going to have a tough time finding a good paying job without a degree. Try monster.com for jobs. I've never used online stuff though.
