I don't know why I like paperwork/paper pushing so much. Maybe it's the order, the organization, seeing a job through, getting things done. One of my favorite things when we brought new teams on, was setting up their offices, ordering their supplies - LOL, I am an office supplies nerd. My favorite part of back to school was getting new pens/pencils, paper, binders, etc.
Anyway, I'll stop droning on.

I know you are not registered. If you had started get reading the book. If not, it is a cheap investment in yourself. You have a year to write the test. There are lots of courses out there to help. You are older, organized, love paperwork, your kids are grown. Golden hire. Hell, you could get a job with a good, meaning busy, advisor without being registered to just be the paper wrangler. Free their AA to work on bringing in work. Don't underestimate yourself. Take agency. What have you got to lose? I just don't want to read a post in a year about regrets about not trying!
