Ideal Jobs for Baby Boomers

Ideal Jobs for Baby Boomers

You have to admit this. You are getting older. But with 78 million of us still employed, you are forcing companies to reinvent what it means to be “old” and still working. Many of you don’t have to think about retirement for another 5-15 years, so to avoid the confusion and maybe frustration, it can’t hurt to think about what you really want to be experiencing in your job to make it an easier transition.

The ideal job for baby boomers would include flexible hours so you have the availability for your aging parents and growing children. It may mean working fewer hours, with an option of working from home, communicating by phone or via the computer.

Another ideal job would be venturing into entrepreneurship, becoming your own boss, by doing what you truly love. This may involve going back to school for additional training or education to be sure you are up-to-date.

According to Marc Freedman, author of Prime Time, he states that baby boomers are causing society to reassess what retirement truly means. No longer are you expected to play golf all day long, but you are exploring a mix of working and relaxing and perhaps dabbling into new ventures.

Sometime between the ages of 50 and 70, you will be considering retirement. Every 7 seconds, someone in America is turning 60 and searching for something more than leisurely staying at home. They are looking to reinvent themselves as they transition into this new phase of their lives.

Consider what you want. You have a lot of clout and ability to redefine work to fit your needs. You are more active and healthier and you probably want to ease into retirement. This process can be started now if you think about it. Develop and implement your career transition plan that reflects the balance you are looking for.
