I know pharmacists that are working in their 70's and 80's. It depends on what you get into.

Yes, some industries need workers. I think nurses can always get jobs as well as salesmen.

Nurses especially. As long as you can endure physically, you've got a job. Also, I've worked with *a lot* of physicians in their 70's.

I got laid off at 51 from a poorly managed division of a lrge hospital system. It took a few months to find a job, but I now make (significantly) more than I ever have, with better job security. Go figure...
