The Best Part-Time Jobs for Baby Boomers

October 22, 2008 | Cafe | Comments 2

Working part-time is a great solution for boomers who want to retire, but can’t because they’re financially unprepared to leave the work force.

At a time when the majority of men and women expect to work beyond their retirement, according to Newsday, many baby boomers will use this time to shift gears in their careers. In fact, 80 percent of today’s 76 million baby boomers plan to keep working in the future and more than half of them are interested in pursuing new careers, according to a Merrill Lynch survey. When it comes to seeking a new career or continuing to work for the same employer, many boomers will opt for part-time employment.

This option is particularly appealing for boomers who want flexibility in their schedules or cannot find full-time employment. “A part-time job can keep you physically, mentally and socially active and perhaps allow you to experiment with a new work role without the commitment and energy drain of a 40-hour work week,” says Laurence Shatkin, Ph.D., co-author of 225 Best Jobs for Baby Boomers.

  1. The jobs listed seem to fall in certain fields of professionals. That’s fine, but if you are not already in those fields, it’s tough. I feel that the boomers will make their livings online. There are many opportunities to make a good living and the convienience is what it is all about.
