Life/Career change- need advice, please. Should I venture into a small business or

[Grace A]

go back to school for PT? I am 43 yrs. old. I have a BA in Linguistics and a Masters in Special Education. I have worked in the school system for 10 yrs. in the field of Special Ed. and am completely burnt out...too much paperwork and politics. I need to earn a living, but can not see myself teaching long term. I had thought of doing some type of small business (health products, maybe) but don't know where to start. Also have considered returning to college to get a degree in physical therapy or the like. But, I do not really want to spend the time and money getting another degree. I am a natural writer ...but not sure if that can sustain me in the present. Any suggestions or helpful advice....thanks in advance for your comments!
