Create Your Unreal Retirement Job or Dream Retirement Career

Jobs for older workers are expected to increase in certain occupations in the future as employers hire seniors, baby boomers and retirees who come with experience and intellectual capital - but often without a need for expensive benefits - for temporary jobs and project work.

If this trend develops, you may be able to create your unreal retirement job or dream career for retirement.

These Stats apply to Canadians:
  • An estimated 950,000 Canadians would like to start a business within the year says research done by RBC Financial Group.
    Self-employment is growing fastest among young Canadians (age 15-24) and older Canadians (age 55+), says Stats Canada.

  • 'Seniorpreneurs' account for ¼ of self employed people in Canada, and 30% of the total workforce over 55.40% of Canadians think entrepreneurship is the most rewarding career option, according to a 2005 poll by Leger Marketing.

  • Self-employment is growing fastest among young Canadians (age 15-24) and older Canadians (age 55+), says Stats Canada.

Keep in mind that you don't have to go halfway around the world and spend a ton of money to spot opportunities for retirement jobs and retirement businesses and take advantage of them.
Opportunities for creating new sources of income are all around us, including our backyards.
Robert G. Allen and Mark Victor Hansen, co-authors of The One Minute Millionaire (Harmony, 2002), claim that they will be able to spot at least fifteen money-making opportunities in your living room alone.

Indeed, opportunities for creating your own great retirement jobs and retirement businesses are all around you. I discuss this at length in my latest book Career Success Without a Real Job.
