Hi Andy,
There are a number of us 'older' people who are in the process of moving back to the UK so I personally can understand how you feel. I'm 49 and heading back next month, but I don't have the marketable skills either, because in my career field (Medical Clerical) we are probably a dime a dozen and anyone can do my job, but that doesn't stop me from wanting to go back. I too will be looking at everything I can do once I get back to make myself stand out amongst the other applicants and if that involves re-training, or training in something slightly different then so be it.
I know it's going to be hard, but I'm looking at this as a challenge and I love challenges..LOL.
I'm pretty sure that with your skills and language skills you will find something, so just put yourself out there. Remain positive !
The very best of luck to you...and let us all know how you get on. ![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Thanks windsong..hopefully it won't take me too many months, because I only have enough funds to last me 6 months..lol. So have to find something quick or else come back to the US with my tail between my legs...lol
