I fully understand that YMMV.

You could train the warehouse folks who need to learn what they have to know.

You've been managing physical inventory for years, maybe it's time to move over to managing virtual inventories.

There are plenty of internet sales companies out there that sell "things" that they never lay eyes on. Virtual fulfillment services are big. And they need people that actually know what goes in to managing an inventory - even more now that they can't actually see what they are selling. They need people like you. People that work sitting down in front of computers. People that spend their days wearing their wrists and fingers out instead of their knees.

Skip the college classes. Look up "virtual fulfillment services" on a search engine and spend a few days learning the lingo and then move your knowledge and experience over to the virtual world.

50 is not old in the scheme of things....and any additional education you get will pay for itself if its the right field...

my hubby's cousin became a stewardess at age 60, no kidding...

as far as knees go, mine are both arthritic and I put up with them...but I work part time and I'm older than you...my window of retirement is in a couple of yrs...

In the company I work for (which is very large and global), "warehousing and storage" is considered part of the Logistics department where there are a variety of career paths. Typically the younger guys do the manual labor in the warehouses, driving forklifts around, picking orders and stocking shelves as well as loading/unloading trucks. There are many positions in Logistics however that involve office work (and no heavy lifting). Those office jobs might involve managing, dispatching, scheduling deliveries/pickups, and other non-manual work.

I'm guessing that you might work for a smaller company where those options are limited. I would explore opportunities with larger companies that have more massive Logistics operations. Maybe your experience is relevant for gaining a position there.

Good luck.
