I'm 39, I was a secretary in my old country before I married and live in the US as a housewife. Now, I divorced, I lost everything and am working as a nanny. I have BA degree but not from the US, I am good with the paper works. My English is not perfect but I believe in my ability. It is really hard to find a job. I heard about you can be a trainee for company and if they like what you done you can be a full time staff. I want to have a good living in the future, Please advice and Thank you.

Am sure you can do this. I lived in the UK as foreign too, and got a part-time job initially. I saved loads of money to pay for my education and come back home. I got a good job here, and am quite sure you can get your qualification too. Perhaps validating your degree is what you need. I would take a 2 or even a year course in order to land into a job I love.
Best of luck!
PS: I wasted my time with men, and lesson learnt so far...don't rely on a man or even worst be co-dependant on them! ;) x
