[quote=Anonymous]I'm 45 right now and know I will be leaving my current job at age 50. There is no option for this not to happen. I will have a pension but it isn't enough to live on. I need a second career that will bring in a minimum of $30,000. I have time to go back to school before then, but I don't want to do something that takes tons of effort and motivation. I've already been there, done that.

I took some of those career tests and they all came back with a best match to "librarian". Sounds amazing - I love to read, am very organized, good with technology, etc., but doesn't sound very practical, does it? Any librarians out there who know what the job market is like?

I'm also interested in some sort of editing/proof-reading career. I suspect I could do that on a free-lance basis.

I realize I'm rambling. Anyone want to go out on a limb and make some suggestions for careers I could consider where I would actually get hired at age 50??? My current field does not translate easily to something on a lower rung so I feel like I'm starting from scratch. [/quote]
