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

[monnee]

This is the land of the free.  They can do whatever they want.

[ktheodos]

Part time work that provides flexibility is good....something like a substitute teacher, too - they are always in high demand

[cathy37]

I think that they can do whatever they want to do.  If they have worked a job they liked for several years then they should be able to continue to work until they want to retire.

I retired at 62 but honestly sometimes wish I was still working.  Mainly for the money but also to be more active.  The last job I had was way too stressful and that's why I did retire.

I'm over 50 and I find the being a news paper carrier is good exercise and kills a good deal of time and i can make good money as well

[timvolley]

i agree you can do whatever you want or feel like

50 and 70 aren't really in the same age group and usually don't have anywhere close to the same limitations

People can do what they want as long as they don't have any physical or mental limitations holding them back. Some people continue to work in the same field as they've always had and others go for less stress free jobs as they age so they just have something to do

Most 50 year old are still working full time jobs in a variety of fields. It's usually 60s when people start to retire

Any job you are physically and mentally able to do if you need the money if you don't then retire and let the younger generation have the jobs

My father worked until he was 78, he started working at Proctor & Gamble when he was in his late 60s & retired, just for something to do... at the time they did their own resets/stocking/inventory checking in stores.  It was a good job, they paid decent like $12+ an hour, hours were flexible & got my father out & about -- they had stock options & great Christmas present packages too.   It's too bad they phased out that job & gave it to another company.

50 still is young, so is 70... if you are in healthy condition.  Age doesn't matter as much as health restrictions.    Life isn't over until it's over.

Depends upon what their level of mobility and health is......that is what would determine what kind of job is good for them.  I think AARP's website has some good advice and information regarding such matters.

I think a good job would be customer service. Like at Walmart, greeting customers.

[dogsleash]

something not too physical .

[autumnsparklemom]

Whatever they feel they can handle. Age is just a number.
