I'm sure Crankin will offer advice.
My greatest respect for you in considering retraining or full-time (?) studies program! (I think my appetite for full-time college or university studies is abit zapped at this time.)
What do you have in mind?
As for the questions: "But I don't want to work for another 25 years!" or "But I don't want to go back to only having 2 weeks of vacation!"
May I comment: I'm 54, and hope to work until 65. And yes, I did have some jobs where I only had 2 wks. of vacation. This is what happens when there are boomers who did have a varied career with several different employers for full-time jobs, but didn't build up decades of retirement pensionable years for 1 employer. For myself personally, if I hadn't switched employers (in a semi-calculated way) + take several part-time courses, I would have learned a lot less, at a less faster pace.
Whatever it is that you choose to do, be passionate about it.
