In today’s society, what kind of job is suitable for a 50-year-old?

50 is the age when you know your destiny. People of this age have experienced the ups and downs of life and have a clearer view of life and society. At the same time, a 50-year-old person is at an age where there are older people and younger people. They dare not stop and take a rest or get sick on the road of life, because as soon as they open their eyes, they are surrounded by people who need them, including their parents. In their seventies, children generally have no independence.

So what kind of job is suitable for a 50-year-old person? First of all, if you have a job now, don’t bother changing jobs. You can’t afford to change jobs at this age. At the same time, few companies recruit people who are 50 years old, and retirement is only 10 years away. Therefore, you must cherish your current job, do not compete with others for credit in the unit, and make way for young people. Secondly, if you don't have a job now, think about what kind of work you can do. Then, based on the current situation of the 50-year-old people around me, and based on different situations and conditions, I will give some suggestions for reference.

1. Be a management consultant and management consultant. If you are 50 years old and have been doing management work, you have rich experience, high academic qualifications and abilities, and rich practical management experience. You can work as a management consultant and management consultant, using your rich past experience to make management diagnoses and provide solutions for enterprises. Because you have rich practical experience, companies prefer older management consultants when using them. Young consultants without practical experience will find it difficult to gain recognition from companies.

Working in management consulting and management consulting, you have relatively free time, but you often travel a lot and work overtime. My current unit is working on a management consulting project worth about RMB 300,000. I found a management consultant who was born in 1966 to cooperate with me. He is very experienced and works very well with our unit.

2. Become a full-time trainer. If you are 50 years old and are good at teaching and are familiar with teaching techniques, and you also have rich professional experience, you can be an independent full-time trainer. Pass on your past experience to the companies and individuals who need it. Nowadays, both companies and individuals have a huge demand for training. One of my former subordinates is nearly 50 years old. He has been engaged in HR and training work. In the past two years, he has also been working as a full-time trainer independently and is well-known in the local area.

3. Operating a community convenience store or a community vegetable store. Whether it is a community convenience store or a vegetable store, the investment is not high and the risk is small. As long as you control the purchase of goods and the quality of the goods, there is no big risk. Take a community convenience store as an example. Since you are familiar with the people around you and understand their needs, if you treat people warmly and have a good attitude, business should be good. Now some community convenience stores have reached cooperation with express delivery and have become express delivery transfer stations, which has also expanded their business and increased their income.

4. Be a self-media. Today’s society is an Internet society, and being a self-media is a good choice. Have free time and don’t miss taking care of your family. There are many self-media platforms now, such as Toutiao, Douyin, etc., with huge traffic. There are various forms of self-media, and everyone has a familiar field. Many of my friends are engaged in self-media, and those who do well can earn 3,000-5,000 yuan per month.

5. Insurance salesman Insurance salesman is also a flexible employment position. You do not need to stay in the office every day, you just need to meet customers everywhere every day. Nowadays, various industries are developing rapidly, and the demand for insurance is huge. It is just a matter of which insurance company to buy. If you do a good job as an insurance salesman and have stable customers, you can also recruit salespeople yourself, so that you don't have to visit customers every day and you can still get a high income.

6. Didi driver As long as you can drive, you can be a Didi driver. You have free time, no boss, and no need to look at the boss’s face. Although it is harder work, the income is not lower than that of employees who work regularly in the company. Especially in the first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the income of Didi drivers is much higher than the average social wage.

7. Cleaning and security positions. If you are 50 years old and do not have a high degree of education and do not have so many requirements for work, you can do security and cleaning jobs. These two professions are in great demand, whether in residential areas, Supermarkets, shopping malls, hospitals, etc. Although the income of these two professions is not high, they are stable and have low job requirements. They are repetitive daily tasks, as long as you work hard.

8. Street stalls The street stall economy has become very popular recently, and "stalling" is the closest to the people. It has the atmosphere of life and is very convenient for us people. You can sell fruits, vegetables, barbecue, etc. As long as you are willing to put down your dignity, you will definitely not lose money by running a street stall, you will just make more or less. All in all, as long as you are willing to try, there are still many opportunities. If we change our way of life, we may find a different kind of life. Happiness is related to our inner feelings and has little to do with specific careers. If you put down your dignity, you will find that life is not as difficult as you think.
