What are some good career choices for those over 40?

Quote from Alex_in_Oz:

I've got many years experience in finance. I 'chucked it in' (retired) 43 years old now and just work part time managing my own fund. What I'm doing now is designing houses out of shipping containers! For fun!

Everybody needs a purpose and a sense of adventure, In fact the army is now recruiting for active duty up to the age of 42.
 
Problem with that saving/hoarding for 20 years scenario is. If you are unfortunate enough to die in year number 19, you get screwed! But your heirs will love it!
 
This is a good point actually.

Over the years, there have been quite a few people that died around me. My buddy died at the age of 22 from slipping on a rock and hitting his head. Healthy guy and unforeseeable.

Then there were 3 people in my high school graduating class that died in their early 20s. Again, each guy was very healthy and the deaths were accidental and not foreseeable. One of the guys was on the high school football team and was definately a very healthy individual. One died of a car accident and the other two Im not exactly sure to be honest.

I have a list of different people were it wasnt so obvious and then wham...

I don't entirely disagree with you. I do have a degree, accounting knowledge, financial knowledge etc...Automation is eating up trading and will continue to do so....so my question basically was "where do you go from here?"
