You Don’t Need Training for This Retirement Job
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
AARP offered advice for those who are over 50 about the top ten professions for those over 50. Because autonomous will be on the road soon, I won’t recommend becoming a driver of any sort. But of the top 10, one doesn’t require training.
This is Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter. You are watching and listening to Job Search Radio. I was reading an article that AARP put out about future professions for those who are over 50. There are some great jobs there, but there was one listed there, unlike the others, which didn’t require going back to school for additional training.
For example, there are the health diagnosis and treatment practitioners. Dietitians. Physiologists. You have to go back to school to become a podiatrist… Stuff along those lines.
Tech professions. You have to go back to school in order to become a programmer, work In security or development. You have to go back to school for advertising or marketing or promotion or PR. You don’t have to do it in order to operate a motor vehicle… But with driverless vehicles coming, why would you want to do that?
Health technology… Becoming a lab technician, dental hygienist, radiology technician.
Engineering? Developing expertise in business operations.
Becoming a financial analyst with the be a personal financial advisor?
Operations specialist.
These are all professions that require that you go back to school and learned the basics.
There was one profession, however, you don’t have to go back to school for where you can leverage your experience doing this and continued your career, let’s say, in your 60s. That is working in sales.
Sales is the one profession on their site that doesn’t require that you go back to school.
They may talk about being a sales consultant, sales agent, a salesperson, technical sales professional… These are all professions where, if you have done it in your career up until these later years, you can continue on doing it into, shall we say, your retirement years and later years as well. With anything else, you start to get passed over, For example, if you work in IT, you start graduating into management roles. The same thing starts to happen in advertising, marketing, promotion, PR… Stuff along those lines. The rest, you do have to go back to school for.
Sales is always something that you can continue on with as long as you are putting points on the board, as long as you are always writing business, organizations always LOVE to hire salespeople.
So, if you are thinking about working in your later years, sales is a profession to consider looking at and develop your expertise or your younger so that in this way, you have an income as you get older.
