I am 40 now and really want move into something new having been self-employed for the past ten years. Has anyone been somewhere for good career advice?

Whilst I'm sure there are places you can go the Internet is a very powerful tool. Get an idea of what you want to do a research it thoroughly. Try and get some first hand experience and/or thoughts of others who've been in that trade as well, for example if you wanted to be a chef ask if you can go a do a few evening shifts and get a feel for it.

you mean the awesome, powerful and all knowing ScoobyNet isn't guidance enough?

Firstly you have to decide what kind of job interests you, job satisfaction is very important I think, and whether you are capable of doing it.

Yes I was hoping Scoobynet would provide the answer as usual in a couple of posts. I'm not sure what I would like to do, but I miss the social side of working as part of a team and the idea of a regular salary paid every month would be a dream come true. Suppose I need to distill my "talents".

I worked in I.T since 1998 (5 years of which self employed)... work became a bit scarce.. jacked it in.. sent off loads of online "cvs" etc.... ended up working on a building site for another s/net member to keep me going (kindly) and now work in a signs and graphics company, thanks to another s/net member!!! (since feb) - best job i've ever had to be honest !!

The old "find something you enjoy doing" is a pipe dream, find something that pays well and you can put up with - that's my advice.
