Hi:

I am currently supervising two women for licensure as mental health 
counselor or clinical social work who are over 65 years of age.  Some master

degree programs in my area are set up for working individuals with 
evening/weekend classes or accelerated programs that require less time.

There are certainly other career choices available.  Case management 
services for people with major mental illnesses, for those with 
developmental disabilities, for seniors, for the blind are available without

more than a college degree in any area.

A degree in adjustment to blindness can be very rewarding, for this I would 
investigate the Louisiana Tech program for it's excellence - I understand 
that it is of a shorter duration.

I wish you the best of luck in your search.
