I am 57, unemployed with an MBA and a recent history of job hopping. Don't know what to do.?

My history--the rise and fall of my fortunes: Started as a drafter, got an MBA, was promoted in a healthcare organization to dept. manager handling staffing, purchasing, budgeting, and controlling for 6 years. This was my peak income (professional level). Next, hired on as a marketing VP for a tiny healthcare consulting firm for 2 1/2 yrs. (This paid 15-20% less, but still professional level.) Next, taught public school and did odd temp jobs as a consultant. Next, hired on F-T as a public school teacher for 2 yrs. Next, opened my own furniture store and lost money (no salary for a year, minus expenses). Next, hired on as a paralegal for 1 1/2 yrs. Next, hired on as warehouseman doing the work that required only a GED and physical strength of a 30-year-old (10 months). Next, I tried my hand at Cad drafting but was quickly laid off for lack of experience-paid $12 an hour for 3 months. I hated all of these jobs, from the top down. My strengths are budgeting, ysis and writing.
