You already have the skill set, so this is the easiest transition,\u201d Russell says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hospitality<\/strong> \u201cThis is an industry that is always looking for quality people,\u201d she says, especially for seasonal employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOlder Americans are the perfect candidates,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tech<\/strong> \u201cIf you\u2019re more of a homebody, you can be at home in your office selling stuff on the internet,\u201d whether products or services, says Russell. For example, \u201cwriters can write, start a blog, and if you have a hobby, you can turn that into a money-making hobby.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Hannon<\/strong> says many older Americans are also starting new businesses, helping the elderly retro-fit their homes, becoming bookkeepers, project managers, joining non-profit organizations, and even becoming retirement \u201ccoaches.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPeople are retiring to something,\u201d says Hannon.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n By Vera Gibbons<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vera Gibbons is the Founder of nonpoliticalnews.com<\/a>, which produces \u201cNoPo\u201d – a free daily newsletter that covers and curates non-political news only within Consumer\/Personal Finance; Health & Wellness; Fashion\/Beauty; Fitness\/Diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is the first place to start, according to Christine Russell, senior manager of retirement and annuities at TD Ameritrade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you friendly? Good with people? Like to help others? Look no further than the hospitality industry, says Russell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And in the digital age, the opportunities for work-from-home gigs are endless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
