Typically a businessman/woman spends 4 years in undergraduate school and a year or more in business school preparing for the workforce. Upon graduation they take an entry-level management position and work their way up the corporate ladder. For most the ladder ends at the age of 65, 70 or so, when they retire.

The American Heritage Dictionary defines retirement as “withdrawal from one's occupation, business, or office.” Many baby-boomers are deciding not to accept this status quo. They are not spending years preparing for a career and then planning for an exodus (or retirement). Instead they are opting for semi-retirement - “a partial withdrawal from one’s occupation, business or office.“ If you are looking to remain in the field of business after “semi-retirement”, these occupations are great for someone with strong business management skills.

Real Estate - Opportunities are available for semi-retirees in the areas of residential and commercial real estate sales. A real estate license is typically needed for these positions, and the requirements for licensing vary by state. Many national real estate agencies conduct seminars for people interested in the profession. Check your local paper or call your Board of Realtors office to see if one is taking place in your area. In addition to real estate sales, one might want to consider property management. Opportunities in this field might include managing an apartment complex, office building or planned community.
