After some thought............................maybe not a career coach - more along the lines of an "opportunity" coach

Additional Info:

1) I'm tired/bored with retail car business - there is no actual career - just a job that is completely commissioned based. You make an ok living...when the economy is good. At 51 it's taking a toll on my body

2) I could easliy transition into another technical field like home/commercial security but those businesses are scaling back lesser qualified people and only hiring (stealing) veteran techs

3) I could also transition into local / state gvt tech positions but with the tax base shrinking; most have hiring freezes or limited openings which I do not qualify for

4) Looking to build real solid, stable ground in the next 8-9 yrs. Something with progressive advancement, secure, interesting (to me) duties and responsibilities

5) I will have an inheritance due (2011) somewhere between $125-175K as it stands now -(sale of property) should I invest in my own business

6) Last but not least ......I just lost my home to foreclosure. Do I take part of the $50k orf more from above - buy another house - and invest the rest?
