Neighbor got laid off about 20 years ago, from his truck driving job. He applied for re-training in environmental field- got his full unemployment compensation, plus all tuition and fees paid for 2 years while he went to community college for an AA in Environmental Science. He never did get a job in that field, and eventually went back to truck driving, but had a nice hiatus from work and got to hang around with college kids for a couple of years rather than be at home with SWMBO, which was much more pleasant for him.
It sounds like you'd like to work, and with your credentials, you may just be able to find something, but I agree that at 62, it may be tough. You'll be better off staying on unemployment rather than taking the first low paying thing that comes along. I'd think you could look for work in your field until rocking chair was about to run out, then do the re-training bit. That's going to get you a lot closer to full retirement age.

If you're going to depending primarily on Social Security, try as hard as you can to delay taking it until age 66. The reduced amount you'll get at 62 will start looking pretty meager in a few years.
