My wife has never had a career - she's had part time jobs at stores and groceries but never a career. She got her masters in a field which she hates and just barely finished her degree.
We moved cross country for my work - and she was going to start fresh. Then she ended up getting pregnant (I got her pregnant? We got pregnant? whatever...). After doing some searching we decided while getting a job was possible, financially it didn't make sense due to child care (her points not mine) so she would be a stay at home mom.
Punch line is that it's been 6 years with no work. And with no prior career 'to go back to' She has no idea what she wants to do with her life or even where to start (insert depression here)
The question
What are some good first steps to take to find a career at late 30s?
What appear to be some good first steps, but actually aren't good / aren't useful.
