Good post! This is almost me to a T - took a break in 2017, and am now slowly considering how to get back in. The shame piece is real, I've found it a struggle to let go of that.
This is very relevant to me because after being medically retired from the Navy, I've been on a career break for 12 years. Now that I'm stable I'm going back to school to earn a degree in another field. Hopefully things will work out. Thanks for writing about these topics.
Though I wasn’t away from the work force I had to change careers at the age of 60 and start over. The workplace changed drastically since my last job interview in 1982. It was a hard journey but I am proof that it can be done. You just have to believe in yourself and focus on your goal.
