What are my chances of finding employment at 53?

Robert P asked:


After 20 years in the military and 6 years civilian employment I find myself having to look for a job again. It’s going on 3 months now and I have put in countless on-line resumes and haven’t even got 1 interview. I really need a job because I am sick and tired of sitting at home doing nothing every day. I am about to go stone crazy now. Is there some kind of outlet for veterans/retired military to go to in situations like this. I really need help here. I am worrying my butt off.

I want a concrete definition of professional career. What is the cut-off or deciding factor of whether a career is considered professional. I know doctors, engineers…are professional careers. But I need a more in-depth definition that will help me classify all sorts of careers.

How long does a modeling career last?

ballet asked:


I am looking to model in the high fashion industry. I am planning on going on America’s Next Top Model but I am wondering if it would be possible to go to college before I begin my career. I know that the career doesn’t last forever and that is why I would like to go to college so that way I could get another job once I am too old to model. If you could tell me how long a modeling career lasts in the high fashion industry. Any additional information would be appreciated. Thank you.

What is the difference between a career in Finance and a career in Accounting?

g-money asked:


I am thinking about going back to school to get a BS in Business Administration.

I would like to know what the difference is in careers in Finance and Accounting. Has anyone had a career in either field? What I want to know is:

What did you think of your career?

What did you do all day in Finance or Accounting?

Did you find it exciting or really boring?

For a career as a Financial Planner or Financial Advisor, do you work off of commision only?

Any information would be very helpful. Thanks.

I have been a loan officer, sales manager and Wholesale rep at various times over 31 yrs. I never wrote subprime loans. With the mortgage crash, I am looking for another career. I am not really interested in insurance, financial planning or being a stockbroker. I do have a college degree.
