Administrative Support personnel provide valuable services to their employers. With your background, I bet there are many non-profit organizations that could use your help, even if it is on a volunteer basis. Check out volunteermatch.org for some ideas if volunteering is something you are interested in.
I have been working full-time since 1983. I am hoping in 7 or 8 years from now that I can transition to a part-time (25 hrs) position; hoping to be living in The Villages by then. I hope to be able to spend more time volunteering and enjoying being out of the 40 hour week grind plus another 8+ hours a week commuting to and from work.
