Second careers available to seniors

Tweet

A growing number of senior citizens and baby boomers on the verge of senior status may not be ready to retire upon reaching traditional retirement age, which is why there are a number of job opportunities available to that segment of the population.

Older individuals who want to continue to provide for their family could pursue a career in the medical field, in which there is demand for qualified candidates, according to The Street. Another option suggested by the news source is to start a franchise with capital that has been accrued throughout the course of their lifetime.

"More than 100 million Americans today are age 45 or older, and households headed by someone 40 or older account for 91 percent of our country's net worth," said Dr. Mary Furlong, president and CEO of Mary Furlong & Associates, a strategy firm specializing in providing services to the boomer and senior demographic.

Baby boomers and senior citizens who have saved up a significant amount of money through the course of their lifetime and wish to retire have that option as well. They may also want to consider securing a life insurance policy if they haven't already, to protect the financial status of their dependents and loved ones. Comparing life insurance quotes online is a good way to find the lowest rates offered to a particular age group.
