What types of jobs do you consider good for someone over 50 -70 years

[Ittai]

I have always seen people over 50- 70 years old working but never give any thought of what types of jobs would be ideal for them? I just assume that people work because they have to take what they can get and others enjoy what they do.

I guess they can do whatever they feel they can handle. My father in law was an accountant and he worked at it up till his death at age 72.

That's between each individual and their employer, for me it's whatever I can do on my own schedule and not stand on my feet all day, which is why I work from home online, even if the pay is less.

Whatever they want to do and comfortable doing it. Others don't have a choice, whatever is available because of the age .

There are a lot of elderly Walmart greeters in my town.  Some work fast food over lunch.  Some just keep doing what they've always done.  Unless their health or physical disability restricts them.  I don't think I've ever seen a construction worker over 60.

Anything they feel comfortable doing. They have the same right to a job as anyone else, no discrimination here in the USA.

If they can I suggest working online, but I understand some don't like the computer, but I would.

You have to work until close to 70 years old nowadays. If you make it to working 70 You get more money. I like my office job and I am cute for the front office too. I wear wigs lol I work online I like working on the computer.

I worked as a cook all my life and loved it

Whatever they want to do and are physically able to do.  But seriously 50 is far from old, most people 50 and + are working their full time jobs.

I would say what ever they are comfortable doing. When I worked in retail I much preferred a senior over a smart a** college student that would not listen to what they need to do  or would not stop talking on the phone   or among themselves on the job. they just could not get it through their heads  getting  paid meant working.

[sherryfan]

I guess like oldbuddy says work online at home

[gtdoss]

It depends on their physical stamina, I guess. Me myself, I would probably need something that wouldn't take a lot of physical stamina. But my mind is very healthy and I could do a job that takes brain power!

[bshee58]

If their health is not really a problem, I've seen some driving Buses, large trucks, nurses, teachers, servers, it's what they can handle when they get that age.

I returned a car to enterprise this morning.  The office is inside a car dealer. 2 retired gentleman were hanging out there.  They knew the in's and out's of what needed to be done around there .. but didn't do anything until they were told.  Apparently they drive the cars from one location to another...and when people need rides in between dropping off and picking up - they do it.
