I just became a nurse at age 49, with endless job offers and opportunities.
130hengineer excellent!!
Well done
Anybody that works in healthcare can always get a job doofus!
What’s your bun and creatinine level, what’s your hemoglobin, a1a. And gfr, what does seeing casts in your urine sample mean!
Medical fields are really tough/stressful place to work in. I guess radiologists had the cushiest job for a while, but even that's going away as these jobs get out sourced to foreign locations.
I was let go from the aerospace industry at 59. Was unemployed for a while. Took a lot of useless training at Workforce then one day realized I was in denial about being retired. I've been teaching STEM part-time at a Community College for 4 1/2 years now and I'm 68. It's good walking around money and I enjoy it, but would never consider making a living teaching K-12 as a profession. My students are motivated and many of them are older as well. Part of the reason I can do this is we paid off all our debts by our early 50's and stuffed our 401k's to the gills and drove 20 year-old cars through our working lives.
I started school to become a vet tech at age 60. I graduate May 2022. This year, a 70 y.o man just graduated the program! I wanted to be a vet in HS but was steered into the secretarial pool. Hated it.
Congratulations! I love hearing things like this! Thank you!
I’m in your shoes. I wanted to be a vet as well and fell into administrative work. Paper pushing. I should think about this…
1. Consulting based on your previous life experience.
2. Working for a non-profit organization.
3. Teaching.
4. Buying a Franchise.
5. Online Course Creation. (Udemy, Teachable, Thinkific, etc.)
6. Graphic designer. (Canva)
7. Freelance writer, again based on your life experience.
8. Real estate agent.
9. Virtual assistant.
10. Personal trainer.
Great video, thank you!
There are many opportunities out there. I believe the best ones involve working for ourselves.
Thank you
Excellent ideas! You can also do a few of these at the same time or different times of the year. For example, in January everyone signs up for a gym membership - perfect for a personal trainer. In the summer, a real estate agent when home sales are hotter. 👍
Stuntman. At 80, I got this... LOL !
LOL, I misunderstood the title and thought this would be about careers that ONLY lasted 10 seconds. Back in the 1980's I worked at Kentucky Fried Chicken, and that career lasted slightly longer than 10 seconds, but I never went back for my 2nd shift.
Thanks for the videos!
I read it that way too 😅
Wow this is great! It's not just for over 50... Any unemployed person of any age should watch this!
Teaching k-12? My wife decided she would do that and after three months realized it was a terrible choice. Kids don't listen, are out of control, teachers are punished for trying to get kids to work on their studies, the internal politics is worse than anywhere else, it's a you stab my back I stab yours type of workplace, kids break the windows out of your car, etc. My uncle did the same and put his seven years in and couldn't wait to get out. Afterward when asked if he'd do that again he said he'd rather cut his nose off with a butter knife.
💯 accurate!
I came here to look at what a 2nd career past 50 years of age might look like...then I saw my first listed at #3! It should be listed closer to the top, because it surely is #2!
After 20 yrs, I don't know how I survived...
Algernon Calydon Thank you for the insight. My research showed a significant percentage of people over 50 work in this profession. Before I published this video I spoke to a friend of mine who teaches in a Cleveland suburb and she enjoys teaching at her school. Another person I just spoke with is a young Sub teacher, new to teaching. She told me she was glad to get the work but acknowledged kids can get, as you say, out of control.
I can attest to this. I started teaching at 38 and I’m already looking for other options at 42. If you want to feel like everything you do is wrong, try teaching!!!
Thank you so much I am 54 and was alreading considering being a career
Consultant for the youth in
My community.
Brilliant video! Loved the practicality of your list. Thanks.
Most of the people working the $12/hour jobs at Home Depot & Lowes are over 50.
Two weeks ago I saw a news clip that said retail workers are among the most vulnerable and susceptible to Covid! Very sad!
In the UK, the DIY chain B&Q is modelled directly on Home Depot, down to the aprons. They have an active policy of hiring older people, especially those who are tradesmen, so it's likely that in the Electrics department, you're talking to an experienced electrician.
A former co-worker got tired of the grind, retired at 62 and works two days at week at Home Depot because he likes it better.
People with wood cutting, or garden skills, can have an easy shift or 3 a week.
This is some useful content and after 50 career ideas.
Good list! The better ones are mentioned first. A consultant and a virtual assistant sound like similar careers. The pandemic and the uncertain economy has thrown a wench in planning. You suggestions carry more weight in a stable economy.
Health care is the most important factor to get me to 65. That worries me on the home stretch, 55-65. So I’ll need a second career that offers it.
Great Channel. Great video.
This is a great collection of very accessible ideas. Thanks for posting.
I’m glad you found the video helpful. Thank you for watching.
I am appreciate your channel. Companies are looking for people that need little or no orientation to a job. That is what you call qualified for that position.
Almost all of these resonate with me. THANKS!
Thank you for watching!
I have been dabbling in house flipping. Really enjoy it. Also doing the Graphic designer route thanks to your influence
Those are two good hustles. I got my start as a graphic designer and I continue to monetize those skills decades later. Good luck!
Nonprofits read low pay and you have to fundraise your salary. Franchise read invest your retirement money with a high rate of failure
I'm six days short of my 64th birthday. I'm thinking about taking courses at a nearby community college to become a machinist. Currently working at a distribution center with janitorial duties. Do you think this would be a good career move?
Everyone thinks they can teach because, "Hey! I went to school! I know all about it!". They find out otherwise very quickly.
Many "skills" can be learned, but people considering teaching need to understand that it's not about how "good" you are; it's about how good you are at bringing out the good in others, and doing so consistently under what can frequently be quite impossible conditions. If the voice inside you tells you after your first couple of practice teaching assignments that you don't have the temperament for it, you probably don't have the temperament for it. Spare yourself and a whole lot of other people much grief and draw the proper conclusions. If you do have the temperament, then, in the words of Chief Dan George's character Lone Watie in, "The Outlaw Josey Wales": "Endeavour to persevere!".
Good advice. Thanks! Bu by the way I love that Clint Eastwood movie!
Yes! I’m a physical therapist/Pilates instructor and over 50 and run my own business and do online classes and private training ( due to Covid) for anyone with pain issues. It’s been slow growing online since people seem scared to try exercise at home but it’s really a lot of fun and there’s lots of modifications for everyone no matter what your pain issue.
I actually thought the vaccine will be helpful
I am glad I saw your video. I was a restaurant manager and Covid has killed the business. I was thinking of doing real estate and you confirmed my choice. I live the SF Bay Area, so it should be a good choice.
Graham Stephan is someone I follow on CZcams. He is an interesting young guy who started out selling real estate in California and recently moved to Las Vegas. According to him he's made millions. He's worth checking out if you are interested in Real Estate. Good Luck!
@@Over50tv I have seen his videos too, purely by accident. He had a video explaining why he was leaving California and I understand why he moved to Las Vegas. Taxes and all the other problems this State has. Thanks for the reply and I'll keep watching.
I was a salon owner and hair stylist forever until I became sick with a rare disease. I have to work from home now because I can't be outside at all. I don't have any skills other than hair and managing. I'm over 50 and freaking out. I'm almost out of money completely.
I've been out of hair for 12 years. I've been making jewelry and until the last 3 years it's gone well. I'm burned out on it but keep going because I don't have anything else.
I'm here at 33 because I overthink everything
I don't believe overthinking is necessarily a bad thing as long as it eventually leads to action.
You are inspiring !
Thank you! I sincerely appreciate the comment!
After 50, I did three careers that I loved. I started and ran my own Private Investigation Agency/ Expert Witness /Consultant , did that for 10 years after I retired as a Federal Agent at 45 years old. Sold the company at a profit. Then became a social worker for five years. Now, I’m thinking of becoming a English as a Second Language (ESL) teacher here in Mexico where I retired.
@gregory Very Inspiring! I retired early and fortunate enough that I don’t have to work but I miss being productive. Reading your post really inspires me, thanks!
Great for you, but the PIs I know mainly sit in cars and watch people do nothing. Sounds terrible
There's about 3 of these that I would seriously consider. I've been playing guitar for 34 years now and I'd like to share my knowledge. Sometimes I find it hard to explain how I know what I know-a certain technique, scale pattern, etc-so I'd have to figure out first.
Because you watched this video on CZcams I am going to assume you've also noticed that some pretty cool guitarists have their own channels. Consider that option. Also, check out Teachable.com or Patreon.com. Those are great platforms lots of people use to market and sell their skills. Good Luck!
@@Over50tv Thanks! I'm looking into it all and trying to find my niche, as there's a ton of people that are excellent...some of whom I've learned from.
Thanks. I am worried I have been conditioned to my job and developed a routine. I tried breaking it but my routine and dependence scare me.
May I suggest that you try developing new helpful and healthful routines like setting small daily goals that will improve your life and ease your worries. Do things like committing to saving $1 or more per day. Take a class or classes in your field or another field or in an area of interest. Exercise for 15 minutes per day. Chart your daily, weekly, monthly progress. Little things add up to big things and big improvements in your life and also in your attitude.
If you have worked with your hands and have some trade skills and have taken care of your health...being a full time handyman is a very lucrative business one can pursue.
I agree 100%
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I am currently guiding my career toward #1 consulting via already established experience and additional certifications for ~10 years from now when I retire. Also considering #5 online (or even in person) courses as it seems like it would be a great side hustle while still employed and also market my expertise. #5 is more marketing while #1 is the one to likely bring in more money IMO. Any thoughts on this?
10 sec. careers for people over 50... Welcome to your first day, by the way, how old are you...? 10 sec. later... Good luck finding your new job...
LOL
How about lawyer!? I am 52, and I am in my 4th year at an online law school. Many of my classmates are my age or older!
Is there a market for lawyers though. I heard there were too many out there. What online school?
@C B I just want to start my own boutique law firm and charge 50-75% of market rate! Coupled with doing a good job, can’t miss!
@@ChristianeMarshall there is a need for lawyers in certain sub specialties , like family law, elder law, and immigration! If you are good, there will be a place for you somewhere! California School of Law. One of our instructors graduated our program 4 years ago and works as a public defender
@@ChristianeMarshall California School of Law
@C B no, I am paying as I go. Your objection is noted, counselor! Years ago, I helped a lawyer push his Porsche Carrera after it quit on him. I asked him what was a good area of law to go into .He said, “ Just make it through law school; it will find you!”
Non profits are a bit of a risk, because if your going for a job with them I assume that you already can't get a job. Therefore you have a unemployment gap! If this is an issue you wont get paid work so your next alternative is volunteer work. Volunteer work is only for people who can afford to give back to the community and don't expect paid employment. Besides that if you were to go for one of the positions within a non profit and your last job was voluntary than your application will be competing with others who have paid work on their resumes. Another issue with non profits is funding, so even if you are best employee that they ever had they can't give you the job because of a) funding and b) EE0.
After 50, my career lasted at least eleven seconds.
Note about real estate - an agent is an independent contractor. You need money to get in. You have to have a broker and there is usually a monthly payment. You pay insurance and your own advertising. You have to take courses to keep your license. If you’re short of money, and need to earn right now, real estate won’d do that for you.one of my commission checks was literally $10 because I owed for advertising.
Thank you for sharing your insight and your experience as a real estate agent. The 'second careers' in my top 10 list were added only after I did research which included looking at local and national statistics/trends. Whenever possible I also speak to people currently working in the industry or I have second hand familiarity with people who earn their living doing this work. In this video I didn't grind down on the fees/requirements for entering this second career because those vary by state. I also want to mention that I am personally familiar with this particular career because I have friends and a family member who are successful Realtors. I also know or am familiar with people who took their career as a Realtor and leveraged it to launch other successful second or third businesses. (Check out Graham Stephan on CZcams).
@@Over50tv thanks for your reply. And I appreciate your content. I’m 64 and interested in what you might find. I’ve been a teacher, a realtor, a writer. I guess my point is that it isn’t a job. It’s a business.
Real estate agent is exactly what I did when I looked around my office and saw I didn’t look like my coworkers. I got my real estate license and made about 50k my first four years. I made over a 100k last year. If you made $10 commission on a deal then I’d say that’s on you.
Teaching?! Uh, clearly you're not speaking from experience. Read the recent article and the comments in the NY Times about teacher burnout. It's one of the few things I've read that accurately depicts this profession.
Teaching isn’t what it used to be. A lot of read tape anymore.
misunderstood the title... thought it was the same as "6 careers in 1 minute after 50"
Don't know how you came up with that. Sorry for any confusion.
I think you've left out a really good selection, and it's what I'm starting at age 55 retired from a school district. That's over-the-road trucking. It's profitable and there's opportunity for improving one's skills for a more profitable gig. It's a great choice for me...
I agree. It’s a great gig.
Please tell me more! I want to get out of the school district!
What’s over the road trucking?
I'd be worried about my back. I heard that's a common issue for truckers.
@@davidcamacho3513 Long journeys in a big truck. Cross country, regional and local are the general options in trucking. Then there's the actual trucks that vary in size as well...
Evaluate carefully before investing in a business, additional education or getting into a lower pay industry. Depending on the income generated it will affect your retirement - you're talking 10-20 additional years of earnings. Lower earnings will lower your Social Security benefits, while the investment in additional education may leave you paying a loan, Both of which will affect your ability to save. The business may or may not be a good investment. Recommend you thoroughly evaluate the up front costs along with the continuing cost to maintain the brand name, the mentoring you'll receive, the profitability of the current business (if buying an established location) and the overall condition of the parent company before purchasing.
Thank you for your comment. What I've seen over the years is most people talk themselves out of starting a business. They come up with all the reasons why it doesn't make sense. Bottom line is don't get stuck in paralysis by analysis. Think it through carefully and if it is something you really want to do, proceed cautiously, but proceed.
I was under the impression that Social Security benefits are based on the highest salary you earned during your 35 years in the workforce. It is not based on your exit salary. If that were the case, a lot of boomers would not be working $12-$15/hour jobs.
54 just retired and started new trucking job :) making more money employers want dependable workers not the lazy don’t show up kids
Smart employers appreciate the good work ethic of older workers. Many only worry about their bottom line to the detriment of their customers.
Can you share with us your background in Fortune 500 companies or business in general?
Sure. Thanks for asking. In the Description box under every video I include my bio which also includes a link to one of the businesses:
Lou Reyes is the editor, publisher, and founder of Over50tv, a multi-channel media company that produces videos and other content people over 50 find unique, compelling, and essential to their career and financial success. Reyes is also the founder and former publisher of Smart Business (FKA Small Business News), the business magazine and special events business available at: www.sbnonline.com. As the architect of the media company's early meteoric growth, he led the expansion into multiple U.S. cities, oversaw the hiring of over 100 employees, running day-to-day operations, and built a sales department that generated millions of dollars in ad and sponsorship revenue. He also hosted SBN’s weekly radio show. After selling SBN he founded and managed a weekly newspaper for over nine years. His business experience includes founding or co-founding and managing almost a dozen other businesses.
None of these suggestions is a good fit for me. I was hoping to hear a few suggestions for people who like to drive.
Thanks for watching. I will produce a video on driving opportunities. Not sure how soon but I am thinking I can do it in the next 30-45 days.
I am 52 male in Africa Zimbabwe, been teaching for the past 23 years (primary school: Computer Science). Am now considering career change so have enrolled for a masters Degree in Human Capital Development. What's your advise or my alternatives after graduation.
It's always hard to give advice when I don't know all of the circumstances. However, one bit of advice I know to be true is this--It is important to take charge of our life and our future. Don't let anyone else be in a position to control what we do, how much we make, or how far we can go.
How does one find Virtual Assistant jobs? UpWork?
I like Fiverr and Upwork. Before you decide to use them check out Abbey Ashley on CZcams. I came across her videos a few months ago. She offers good tips on becoming a VA. She is my favorite choice for learning about becoming a VA. Another person I follow is Gillian Perkins. She is not focused on VA's but she has a good video on the subject: How to become a virtual assistant in 30 days is interesting. Good Luck!
@@Over50tv Thank you! I will investigate. I'm 64 and thinking of starting a new career. I don't want to be in charge of anything. I don't want to spend 24/7 worrying about someone else's network and equipment. Although I'm not sure how I'll feel when I step off this speeding train I'm on.
Sorry, but graphic design is not a career after 50, and Canva is a template-based web-based design platform for non-designers.
I don't know where you are coming from and I won't guess. But, you are wrong to erect an age barrier to a graphic design career. For anyone to limit themselves, or to attempt to influence others in that regard, is impossible for me to understand. This field can open a lot of doors. Regarding Canva, it's one of many great tools for beginners and for experienced graphic designers like me.
I'm just a 60 yr. old nobody. Worked in retail supermarkets over 30 yrs. and now, find myself unemployed.
I'll die if I go back to that kind of job, but what else am I qualified for and who would hire me. I dream all the time of travelling the US, but money is so tight. I would like to start my own business, but I have no business know how. I guess I"m just plain afraid of screwing up, but honestly, I already have by not having the guts to take risks. I could really use some advice or encouragement please. Thanks
Hi Carol! You are not a nobody. You have a lot of work and life experience. Plus, you are only 60. Believe it or not, you are in your prime. It sounds like you only need some direction, focus, and a some new skills to move in a career and life direction you’ll enjoy. I love the fact that you would like to start your own business.
This story might help: Years ago I worked in a phone room making hundreds of calls a day selling magazines to homemakers. I considered it a horrible job. One day I told my coworker, who knew I was only working there till I got my new business of the ground, how much I hated that job. He looked straight into my eyes, and softly said: “It’s a means to an end, Lou”. I never forgot those words. To this day I know if I had to dig ditches it would be okay as long as it’s ‘a means to an end’. The point is do what ever you have to do while you are trying to do what you really want to do. Now, to learn about starting and scaling a small business consider subscribing to my Side Hustle Rules CZcams channel and consider Subscribing to my Side Hustle Rules Pro page on Patreon. It’s only a few dollars a month. Check them out to see if they are for you. You are also welcome to email me at lou@sidehustlerules.com if you have any questions. Good luck.
Go teach English in Asia.
I'm 58 and in a few months I'm starting a certified nurse's assistant (CNA) course. A guy from an agency said he'd hire me to be a traveling CNA. The course is only 8 weeks long and when I'm done I'm certified. Besides decent pay traveling CNAs also get a really huge stipend which is tax-free. Some of them are bringing home $1,800 a week. You are sent to all 50 states and they are paying extra to go to Hawaii right now. Assignments are usually 13 weeks long and between assignments you can take off as much time as you want. I figure if I do two assignments in a row then I could save $20,000 in 6 months and then take a few months off and travel like crazy.
@@seventhcompactor1505I lived in Thailand and a lot of people were doing that. Vietnam pays pretty well if you want to do that.
Over 50 your done working real jobs then.
Nah, I'm still growing. Love my job and field.
. How about driving the school bus?
That’s a great suggestion. I have a CDL and to drive a bus is a 1 week in addition to what I have. Truck driving you make more money however your seldom home so it’s a give and take.
My uncle made a career out of driving a bus. He enjoyed the job immensely because he loved talking to people and he loved driving. The job fit his natural talent and skills very well. You could always try it and determine if it is a good fit for you.
I was employed by a third-party transportation company as a school van driver. I enjoyed interacting with the students and the vehicle was a Honda Odyssey van, which I kept at my house.
@@stephenmerrick3189 Sounds like a nice gig!
I have friends who retired from driving, who are now doing casual/on-call driving for car dealers. Take this new Tundra 200 miles to another dealer and bring back an Avalon kind of thing...
Is that how long they last? Ten second careers ,aren’t world the effort.
Lol
Better if he used “2nd” to avoid that confusion.
Not loud enough to hear
I don't know why you weren't able to hear the video. I just played it back and I was able to hear it fine. But, I do know some of my earlier videos, like the one you reference, didn't have good quality audio which is why I invested in a new microphone set up. I'm sorry this one if difficult to hear.
Nobody wants a Graphic Designer over 50. Companies want youth that is in touch with current trends for younger generation. Also graphic design doesn’t pay alot
I started out as a graphic designer. I leveraged those skills to layout the pages of my first business-to-business magazine which grew into a chain of magazines. I still use those skills. I design my CZcams thumbnails and create other art. Create opportunities to use those cool skills.
Youth is overrated. Talent is what matters. If you have someone experienced, disciplined, and talented then you have a winner. Employees over 50 are capable and reliable.
@@EchoSigma6 You're not factoring in health
You forgot CZcams:-)
My mistake. Thanks for watching.
CZcams is harder than I thought it would be...
Only a millennial thinks a career should last 10 seconds
Lol.
Thank you for your videos! But ...Teaching k-12? Are you kidding? Lol! (You offered it as an alternative to corporate grind).Teachers have no life except teaching. Think you can finish at the end of the day and go home? Nope. Your work goes home with you. It could be a good career change for some people, but be realistic about it. Know the truth! Lol! However, substitute teaching is different. Pay isn’t as good and no pay on snow days or vacations, but it offers flexibility and you don’t have to take your work home with you.
Thank you for your comment. We all see things differently. Some people may find this the perfect second career for them. Others may not. It depends where you are at in your life and where your interests lie. Like any job or career, it would be wise to find out as much as you can about the position before you accept it.
BS. Teachers get the summer off, federal holidays... off, weekends... off. Union benefits.
Please cry me a river you brat.
@@adambrady9989 We also get to frequently enjoy the company of people such as yourself. Can't beat it with a stick!
That's why after student teaching at age 40, I changed my mind. Loved teaching art to elementary, but a student tried to pick me up at the high I was sent to. Schools are so poor and teachers end up buying their own supplies, etc. School started at 8:30 but I had to be there at 7 to set up the room for the day. What one may try to dabble in is substitute teaching first. In CT all you need is your BS degree.
@@janb.9046 substitute teaching os great. No prep needed, but no pay on snow days and summer!
Real estate agent, seriously? Most people make no money in it
This video was produced in 2020 when the mortgage rate was 3.1%. A career in real estate doesn't make sense now, and probably not in the near future, if ever.
Be careful throwing out the word teaching so casually. It is brutal. The kids are animals. Endless parades of administrators and coaches showing up unannounced. Between morning/afternoon hall duty and afterschool meetings, you're looking at 11 hour days, then how ever many hours it takes you to prepare material in time to do the whole thing over again at 6 the next morning. If you don't work nights to lesson plans, you work all weekend. Being a first time teacher is VERY difficult, especially if you don't have training in classroom management/discipline. If you're out there considering it, think twice!
Non profit pay peanuts and expect you to work your arse off.
Compensation varies based on the organization and the job you do. Working at a non-profit that serves a cause or population you truly care about is icing on the cake. I volunteered at four different non-profits. Pretty much every employee there made a good to livable wage and loved serving their communities.
I am 53, and volunteered at a charity thrift store distribution centre to gain new skills. Had been in hotel industry which was decimated by covid. One month after volunteering, was offered job. So, offering to volunteer opened up doors.
@@Over50tv You're suspiciously uncritical.
I'm thinking school bus driver.
