Recovering from a brain injury, need avice on restarting my career.

Hi folks, I used to be a regular here, going WAAAAAAAAY back to Y2K

Five years ago I had a brain injury that rendered me incapacitated, I had to re-learn many things. Now I have progressed to the point where I *CAN* work again, but as you know, 5 years in IT is just short of a lifetime.

I feel as if I am starting from scratch and am not sure where to go from here in terms of restarting my career. Should I go back to school? Should I try a junior level position? Should I do both? Are there any resources out there that would be of any use?

I’m working in retail now, which has proven that I can once again be employed but now I would like to get back to IT. I am in my mid 40s and have a lot of experience prior to my injury.

Any ideas?
