A member asked:

Does it make any psychological sense to attempt to obtain a previous paid job back that one voluntarily retired from by applying as a volunteer?

Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Your subjective: Experience will give you the answer. Many people volunteer and it is a major way of helping others and can lead to paid positions. Please make the decision yourself and don't be overly influenced by folks who will only work for money. Peace and good health.
