Hi Susan, thank you for the feedback. Answers my question
as I am a small person also.

There is one question I did not ask. Is the work of an activites or lifestlye worker heavy? I have cared for people in wheelchairs previously and know that can be heavy work depending on the person.
I do appreciate all the advice given it has been really helpful. Thank you

Thank you ladies for all the postive encouraging words. I had almost put aside the idea, now I feel more postive about possibilities.

I live in Queensland AU. I am considering re training in Diversional therapy or studying Diploma of Health and Leisure. I realise it is not exactly the topic here however I am unable to obtain a direct answer from anywhere else. Do those who are Lifestyle Co Ordinator's in the discussion group feel that 60 is too old to retrain in this area? I am hoping to gain some casual work at least at the end of the course. I have past experience as an AIN but have not worked now for 4 years. I realise I am a senior myself and just not certain if I would be employable at my age. Any advice appreciated. Sue
