OUR LIVES | SENIOR LIVING positions. Some older adults have simply changed jobs, if not career paths. The only difference between older adults and their younger counterparts have been the type of career change undertaken. It is not unusual for an older adult to take a job that would be considered a “dream” decades ago. That also includes starting up a new business, becoming entrepreneurs, or just doing a major change into a field where they can thrive in their advanced years. While discrimination exists based on being LGBTQ and on their age, there is hope for those of us of who are looking at both squarely in the mirror. There are many examples of older LGBTQ adults who have taken on new roles that are more enjoyable and are aligned with their interests. Maybe you are one of these who have pivoted your career and work during this Pandemic. We love to hear your story. Feel free to contact us. We would love to share your success with the rest of your community. After all, we continue to be in this together.
