I am faced with a decision about how I want to pursue my next job. Since mid-October, I have gotten very used to life out of work. I keep myself busy with lots of time with my dog and getting the "honey do" list knocked out now that my neck surgery is healing well. 

I am fortunate to have several companies interested in me with my past line of work in office automation (copiers, printers, scanners and such). It feels nice knowing I am wanted at my later age and it makes this decision a bit tougher. 

Do I take a job in a field that I have worked for the last 25 years? Do I continue with my old clients in NY (and deal with a Non solicitation clause lurking over me) or try to expand the possibilities down in Florida where I currently reside for much less pay (starting from scratch)? Do I take a position that will pay more in a base salary but less in commissions, knowing I will be back to a regimented system, or do  I take a minimal or no salary with higher commissions, and work at a place that will give me more freedom to come and go as I please? Or do I just consider retirement while getting a light part time job to help cover the bills?

This week I will need to make such decisions as I am nearing the end of my time off. 

I would love to hear suggestions…
