Can you be more specific?
You want to move from Legal secretary/Paralegal/ citizens Information/ Garda/ Solicitor/ Judge?
To Special needs Assistant/ Primary teacher/Secondary Teacher/ College lecturer?

You see the educational gap? Do you have a primary degree? I am a big fan of VTOS, I would start there. My friends wife got a crazy redundancy package as QA from Pharmaceutical Industry and she was too young to retire at 55. He asked her what she wanted to do and she said be a primary school teacher. She retrained as a primary school teacher. Took her 5 years I think including summers in the Gaeltacht.
