Awesome! I'm glad you got out of that shift-work job. Sounds like you're on your way to an entirely new career. I'm sure you'll do great!! Keep me posted on your new venture!

Congratulations on your retirement! It sounds like you’ve set yourself up for a great next chapter. Best of luck with your new job at the school!

I’m really sorry to hear about your situation. It’s tough out there, but don’t lose hope. There are resources and support systems that can help you find some opportunities tailored to your needs.

Me too am singlemom of 1 daugther i need job as a cleaner/janitress/ am just high school graduate.am 61 years old still healthy.I have valid passport i hope no placement fee from Philippines.

I've seen that type of tactic as well and I totally get where you're coming from. I've watched companies overload older employees and force them to retire and once they're gone, they find out they need to hire 3 people just to fill the position. Glad all that is behind me! I'm glad to hear you're considering getting back into the workforce! Your experience can definitely make a huge impact, and it's never too late to share your knowledge.

Thank you for sharing your journey! It's so encouraging to see someone embrace change and strive for new opportunities. Wishing you all the success in your future career!

I went to Flexjobs and completed the online application. I truly understand about needing to make a change and being an introvert as well. .Good luck with the job hunt-hope you find something you actually enjoy!

@@MidlifeReinvent ok. Thanks for the info. Glad to hear you can get a job without a referral. I will definitely check out this site. Have a great day!

It sounds like you're in a tough spot, but you’ve still got options! Since your supervisor has an open-door policy, talk to her about the workload and boundary issues. If possible also try to clarify your role, so you’re not stuck doing tasks outside your job description. You might also want to think about looking for other internal positions that might suit you better- don't forget your experience counts, even without a degree. And, if you're thinking about the long-term, maybe explore getting certifications that might help you transition to a less stressful role. Plus, you might want to consider talking to a financial advisor about your pension plan and your future goals. You've already shown that you have resilience, so don't give up!

If you’ve spent almost 20 years in the legal field and you're thinking about changing careers, your skills are highly transferable. So, without knowing your specific area of expertise, here's some options you might want to consider: - Compliance Officer: Use your legal expertise to help businesses follow regulations, especially in finance or healthcare. - Corporate Trainer: Teach companies about compliance, ethics, or legal topics. - Consulting: Advise businesses on legal or regulatory challenges. - HR Roles: Your knowledge of employment law and conflict resolution makes you a great fit for human resources. - Contract Management: Manage and negotiate business contracts with your legal background. - Policy Analyst: Shape laws and regulations by working with government or think tanks. - Project Management: Your attention to detail and organizational skills transfer well here. - Real Estate: Use your property law knowledge to become an agent or broker. - Mediation: Help resolve disputes outside of court as a mediator. - Writing: Create content for legal blogs, write guides, or even books. There's no doubt that your legal experience opens up ton of doors!

Thanks for stopping by. Currently, data analysis and digital marketing fields are experiencing strong job demand. Although software development is facing a temporary slowdown, it is projected to see a 17% increase in job openings over the next decade.

@@MidlifeReinvent so are you a data analyst using python numpy etc or technical writer only?

Thanks for your question! I wear many hats in the data analytics field, including various types of content creation. I'm curious, what specific aspects of data analysis or technical writing are you most interested in? I might be able to point you toward some resources or future video topics that could be helpful.

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you found it informative and encouraging!

I'm happy to hear that you're taking charge of your career. I can honestly relate to your statement "too young to retire and too old to put up with that type of nonsense". I really want to encourage you to keep pursuing what truly fits you the best and fulfills you. Best of luck with your interview on Tuesday!

I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Welcome to the community-excited to have you on board!

I was a stay at Home mom with no money in my IRA or any savings of my own, which was scary at 53 years of age. Three years ago I got a part time job and save everything I make. After 3 years, I am 56 yo and have put $9,000 in an IRA and $40,000 in my portfolio with CFA, Dorian j Townsend. Since the goal of getting a job was to invest for retirement and NOT up my lifestyle, I was able to scale this quickly to $150,000. If I can do this in a year, anyone can.

This is a Cool video, you work for 40yrs to have $1M in your retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $25K into trading from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires

Great reviews! I will definitely give her a try with my $10,000 and see how it goes. Having a reliable source of information and support can make a big difference in one's financial journey.

4 years ago, I was living paycheck to paycheck, working 40 hours a week. I was a high school dropout with a GED and had a 489 credit score, along with an eviction, repossession, and collections. I got into real estate but encountered unqualified clients who couldn't qualify for a mortgage due to their credit. I found this home-based business here on UA-cam, and it just made sense.

Hello , I am very interested. As you know, there are tons of investments out there and without solid knowledge, I can't decide what is best. Can you explain further how you invest and earn or reach her?

@AnnaSzabo Thank you so much for your very kind words! I'm really glad that you enjoyed my video and that it resonated with you!

Unfortunately, it's a tough reality for so many, but recognizing it for what it really is the first step towards making a change.

Thanks a ton! Super glad you found it inspiring!

You're very welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you for sharing your experience! Your journey is a fantastic example of how we can continue to evolve and contribute at any age. Transitioning from IT contracts to writing about AI shows that there's always room for new passions and pursuits. It's really inspiring to see how you've adapted your expertise to stay engaged with truly cutting-edge technology. Your story highlights that our skills and interests can lead us to exciting new chapters, even later in life. Thank you so much for adding your voice to this conversation and demonstrating another great way to approach our later years with purpose and curiosity! Awesome!

❤❤❤❤

AI can do that too.

@@nobbynob-mq2rn I use AI to generate a lot of my text about AI.

Thank you for sharing your journey! Your case beautifully illustrates that there's more than one path forward after having a traditional career. You're absolutely right that happiness looks different for everyone, and you're indeed fortunate to have the financial stability to choose early retirement. Your story is a great reminder that whether it's a new career or some type of creative pursuits in retirement, the key is finding what really brings joy and purpose to our lives. Thanks for adding to the conversation and showing another fantastic way to approach this chapter of life!

Thank you for sharing your experience. It sounds like working in corporate roles has been very challenging for you. Sadly, too many of us face discrimination in the job market. It's a reminder that we need to work towards a fairer environment for everyone. And congratulations on being close to achieving your retirement goals; that’s a great accomplishment! Thank you again for your comment. I wish you all the best as you transition to this new and rewarding chapter of your life.

Yikes. I hope you’re not a hiring manager. Such blatant ageism

Vincent, I disagree. Most 'old dogs' will stop a bad habit the minute the doctor tells them they have cancer! Motivation is the issue, not intelligence. Go watch some really elderly people, over 80 and ask yourself how you want life to look between now and then. Renee Landers is 73 and she started weight lifting in her 60's and has the body of a very fit 30-something!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your thoughts. I truly appreciate your perspective. It's true that everyone's journey is unique. Indeed we all have different experiences and challenges. While my story may not be typical per se, I firmly believe that talent and intelligence are not fixed traits. Many people, regardless of age, have the potential to learn new skills and adapt to new situations. The concept of a growth mindset, suggests that our abilities can develop with motivation, effort, and perseverance. This has been a guiding principle for me. I understand that transitioning to another career from long-term roles in corporate, management, or bureaucratic environments can seem daunting. However, I've seen firsthand how many individuals in their 50s, 60s, and beyond have successfully reinvented themselves by embracing new opportunities and continuously learning. Sometimes, the wealth of experience you gain over the years can be incredibly valuable in new work environments and contexts. Thank you again for your thoughtful comment. I hope my journey can inspire others to explore their own potential, no matter where they are in life.

Thank you so much for sharing your story and insights. It's wonderful to hear that you've found such fulfillment and passion in teaching. It's a testament to the importance of finding work that deeply resonates with our personal values and interests. It's inspiring to see how you've embraced your role as an educator and you continue to find joy in it while balancing it with your other interests and hobbies. There's no doubt that each of us has different ideas about what retirement should look like. But for many of us, continuing to work is more rewarding than traditional notions of retirement. It's all about what brings purpose and joy to our lives. Thank you again for your thoughtful comment. It's encouraging to hear about your experiences and perspective, and I'm sure it will deeply resonate with many others who are searching for meaning and fulfillment in their own lives.

@@joem.7621 Hey thanks for your comment! Yes, getting hired at my age could be seen as surprising. I suppose it really depends on your skill set. The very reason why I chose to change careers was exactly to your point. I didn’t want to give the best years till full retirement to my previous employer. My current role allows me to travel anywhere I desire and work from anywhere. And, it’s merely a stepping stone towards having my own business that will provide the physical and financial freedom my wife and I need to travel wherever I want. And, I can work as much or little as I please well into old age. Again, thank you for your comment!

Hey, thanks for asking. You'll find it in the description as well as by clicking the "i" in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. But, I'll place it here as well. ua-cam.com/video/OIkhE2qJF2Y/v-deo.html

Hey, I really understand! It's tough when work feels like a drag. Remember, it's never too late to start exploring and find a job that fits you much better. You got this!

Hey Garrett. With your handyman skills is there a passion you have like cars, gardening, interior design, woodworking etcetera? I know that there's lots of work for people modifying cars, not just mechanics but interior wood detailing, hand finishing stuff. Go for it in parallel with your current work and reduce the boring stuff in a few steps.

​@@peacefulsleep7052 Thanks but looking at the big picture it's time to hang up the tools. Shoulders issues. More than anything else my spirit is telling me to move into the non profit arena.

Awesome, I’ll check it out. And, thank you for your comment!

Hey, thank you for subscribing! I know what it's like when you really need a change. I hope that I can provide a bit of inspiration to help you along your journey. You're never too old to pursue a new career!

I switched to my careers at 50 I was a machinist now I'm a caregiver I have 14 more months to retire

Thank you for sharing your story! It’s inspiring to see someone take such a big step in their career. Wishing you all the best in your final months before retirement!

Hi, I'm 61, retired from our local papermill 2 yrs ago and sold our small cleaning company last year and though I'm drawing a pension, I would like to do something interesting to make some extra money for fun. I'm thinking of getting into real estate sales. I enjoyed dealing with people. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for watching. I hope you found it encouraging and helpful!

Thank you so much! It was definitely a bit of a rollercoaster, but it was worth it.

Hey, thanks you for your kind words and encouragement, it means a lot to me!

That's certainly true for lots of companies and it's definitely worse in certain business sectors. But, don't give up you can find meaningful work. I really hope you find something soon. If you're interested. I created a video on where to start looking. ua-cam.com/video/OIkhE2qJF2Y/v-deo.html

We still get caught up applying for jobs when we may do better at contracting our skills out and working for ourselves. Hire yourself. No rejections guaranteed!😉

Totally agree! It's all about taking charge and making things happen on your own terms.
