The wife and I are getting older. We have been working for decades at this point. But we are too young to retire, and we had kids late. But one of us could totally switch over to a lower stress second career. Ideally something with benefits, maybe even a chance to get a pension. And since we still have kids, needs to be flexible. One of our kids has autism, so lots of random doctors appointment and stuff.
We both work with computers all day. What are some good options for a second career that doesn’t need to have long term growth potential. We have 8 years where ideally both of us are working so we can cover each other with benefits if something happens. After that, the kids are out of high school at least. So it isn’t like it would be a “short” term career/job. Just not a 30 year thing. And ideally, something that could at least partially be done at home.
Does working with computers mean that you know programming? Then I would suggest cybersecurity.
Ah yes, spend your golden years getting expensive certs for the low stress job of cybersecurity.
Are you high?
Is that a requirement for a job in cybersecurity?
I work for a cybersecurity software company. My wife doesn’t do software stuff, she mentally could but has no taste for it. I just get tired of how the software process has to cut soo many corners to make money.
