At the end with my online business with no idea where to go next.

[Instaattheend]

I ran an online business selling handmade jewellery and repairs for over 20 years. It has now gone south, and in that meantime, where it was dwindling I tried very hard to get things going again.

I a now 5 yrs on from that and very, very tired.
I am thinking I ought to just recalibrate and look for a 'normal'j ob.

I am in a dying marriage, and am 50 yrs old. I would love to get into conservation and work that helps with protecting the land and animals, but fear that I am past it, and have no way forward.

My marriage has left me with very low confidence. I have lost touch with friends over the years and am now quite alone. I have a few thousand in savings, but it won't go far.

I am happy to begin from zero and would live in a bedsit in an odd place to get close to nature and how I wish to work with it.

What would you do?

You are definitely not too old at.50! Would it be worth considering getting a qualification in the field you are interested in? Perhaps study part time and get a part time job to help tide you over cost-wise? Volunteering in the type of work you are interested in should also be helpful. Good luck!

I would go on holiday to somewhere that appeals with lots of nature and have a look at estate agents windows. For now could get in touch with local woodland trust and ask about local volunteering opportunities. Would get you out the house for a while and meet new people who might know if jobs
