[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder how your dad would do in real estate.  You said he is in marketing, with a degree in journalism.  And is physically fit.  Those sound like thins that would fit in with selling real estate.  And with real estate, it seems like they are always hiring.  And being older would be an asset in a job like that.

And then there is advertising.  [b]I am always seeing help wanted ads for people to sell advertising [/b] for the local TV stations, for the local media publications, etc.

Beware: these jobs might be commission-only jobs. No salary, no base, you only get a percentage of your total sales every month. Can be a very stressful existence even for a young employee.[/quote]

Also, there are zero benefits. No healthcare, no nothing.

With real estate, unless your dad has an amazing number of connections who are looking for houses and make good money, it's very difficult to break in, especially in a "weaker" market, and it sounds like his town/city is.
