[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Healthcare, especially nursing, can be physically taxing. Lots of strain and repetitive stress injuries.

Dentistry seems to be age proof. My childhood dentist, who was also my mom's dentist in her teens, just retired this year in his 80s. [/quote]

I don't think dentistry really counts because you are effectively a business owner and any business owner that can successfully market their practice to clients will not be subject to ageism.  Admittedly dentists have the advantage that their customers are generally repeat customers and there is probably an inertia to switching unless people move, insurance changes or they screw something up.[/quote]

Along those lines, my dad still has his solo law practice in his 80s. He's not working nearly as much as he did when he was younger, but he still has some clients and goes to court a few times a week.

Reading this thread carefully as I'm now in my 50s but may be job hunting soon, and feeling spooked.[/quote]
