Yes, that is a possibility.  I still need to contact about 300 more
companies.  After that, I will consider different options.  Prosearch
(http://www.prosearch.org) has career counselors and could visit with one
of them for no charge (thanks to EDD).

According to http://www.contracostatimes.com/mld/cctimes/news/8128111.htm ,
"the greatest growth through 2012 will be in low-wage, service fields
requiring little education: retail salespeople, customer service
representatives, food-service workers, cashiers, janitors, waiters and
nursing aides and orderlies."  Probably that's what I should be retrained
in.
