Your 50th birthday is approaching. While it all seems nice and rosy in life, you have a deep sense of fear engulfing you. It is the question of what next that is responsible for all the worry. Although you still have a long way to way, before the official retirement, you can’t help but think about what your life post the event, has in store.
Although it might look good on paper to have a peaceful retired life, there is always the need to be without monetary difficulties. For this, you must be aware of what are the likely sectors that can prove helpful for a candidate seeking employment after 50. Here are a few of them
The first and foremost is the retail industry. This apart from providing job security, is also pretty comfortable. It’s easy on the mind but might prove to be tough for those with health issues. Quoting a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), an article in livecareer.com, says, “Retail employees and managers are always in demand, with open positions in this field growing by about seven percent”.
Next is real estate. This has a couple of advantages, one of which is the good money that comes with it. The other is that, a job here can help you function independently, without the need to report to any higher authority.
Another equally profitable venture is employment in administrative services. The said article while calling this as a ‘vital human role in most workplaces’, also says, “According to the BLS, these positions will increase a bit slower than average over the next ten years due to the increasing automation of some of these functions, but don’t let that stop you”.
Last but not the least, consultancy services too can be of great help at this juncture. This too, can be taken up independently.
