Post-Retirement IT Job Advice? (BEWARE: Crazy Question)
#5
Typically the reason people can hop between jobs is because they have experience along with some combination of education, certifications, and a strong professional network. Not saying it can't be done, but it might not be as easy as you perceive.

Entry level jobs are usually at the help desk or desktop support level. How do you feel about helping people with MS Office issues, or unlocking the same user accounts 50 times a week, or crawling under desks to plug in computers? you may be able to leverage your current experience into other area of IT. Maybe take an undergrad Info Sec certificate and a basic Info Sec certification like Sec+ and maybe that can get you into a SOC.

What areas of IT interest you?
