SECOND-ACT CAREER IDEA (1): Patient Advocate
As I recently reported in Next Avenue, healthcare is a hot field these days. But if you're not eager to work in direct patient care, you might find this option more appealing. Patient advocates handle everything from finding doctors for hard-to-diagnose diseases to negotiating medical payments with hospitals and doctors and pressing insurance companies to cover claims.To learn more about independent professional patient advocacy, navigation or care management, click the link below to connect with The Alliance of Professional Health Advocates.
SECOND-ACT IDEA (2): Senior Print Model
Think modeling is only a young person's game? Think again! A recent Next Avenue post reports that a modeling agent in Los Angeles represents more than 100 models who are 50+, and the oldest one is 85! If you'd like to learn how you to profit from this growing demand for older models, click the link below.
