When social critic Caroline Bird ran a survey in Modern Maturity magazine about seniors engaged in second careers, the size of the response was stunning--more than 36,000 readers said that they were pursuing employment rather than retirement. This book, a combination how-to and overview of the second-career market, contains short chapters on why seniors should work and how they can discover a fulfilling second career, and an extensive resource list. The heart of the book is a compendium of 28 "job clusters" within which the author describes a variety of jobs, including second careers for people already in the field and niches for newcomers. The book's appeal is its solid grounding in the real-world experiences and day-to-day lifestyles of mature adults who responded to the survey. The result is valuable not only to those over 50 but to anyone seeking a new career.
