#1. Accountant



Are you good with numbers, but never got a chance to exploit your math skills? Opt to be an accountant, which could be a blessing in disguise to enjoy your golden years to the fullest.



As an accountant, you will generally deal with financial matters and your general responsibilities include examining financial records, preparing tax returns, putting together financial documentation and so on.



Lucrative pay, flexibility and not so demanding nature of the job makes it a great option to people who aspire to lead a happy and satisfying life without depending on others post retirement.   



As per Susan Heathfield, a management consultant and About.com’s guide to human resources, accountant jobs can be done part time or people can opt to be associated with a number of corporate firms that need extra staff at various times in a month or a year. This means that an individual doesn’t necessarily have to sign up for the daily toil to and from the office, which is ideal for seniors.



A Bachelor’s degree in accounting or a related field is required to land a job in this line of work.
