Hi Jarrod- Sell radio spots (Commercials). This job is rated "most needed" by broadcast employers. 9-5, no weekends. You can make over $100k on this job and spend your afternoon's golfing with car dealer owners. Your market has major players like Clear Channel/iheartmedia. Check out their website for sales jobs. Contact me for question, I have sold spots in a small radio market.
There are several 9-5 jobs in the financial services industry.
If interested, I'm happy to further detail what some of them are, and help to point you in the right direction.
Thanks for your service!
Jarrod,
What are your goals? There are few traditional 9-5 jobs unless you are working in a trade. The key would be to identify what you are interested in/have the skill set for so you can determine if that's the path you'd like to pursue rather than settle for a job simply because you can head out the door at 5 pm. Jim brings up a good point in that you restrict yourself by looking for a job that doesn't require any time after 5 pm.
My suggestion would be to research some industries and job positions within industries that are of interest to you and look at your skill set and see where it would put you. Then look at what the job requirements are and see if they are something that you would want to pursue, both entry level and the career climb. Further, reach out to those already performing the job via LinkedIn and ask if they would be willing to speak with you about the job, the time requirements, etc. and see if it's something you'd be willing to pursue.
Don't limit yourself until you've really delved into all options. You might surprise yourself on what you find.
If you are open for other options, financial services for baby boomers are on the rise. Our company is looking for honest, compassionate people from all different backgrounds. You choose your own hours. We have offices throughout CA.
You're always welcome to shoot me more questions.
Interesting question... There are many jobs that might be 9-5 types, but you can't really tell unless you do some careful research on a company's website, where you may -- or may not -- get some insights into the culture of the organization. Some companies state policies on "work time" very clearly on their websites -- but that's rare. This is often something that is only discovered during an interview process.
You are also placing some serious constraints on your job search. Most service industries, customer service fields, entertainment, etc. are always more than 9-5 and many are 24/7. Many more companies today are implementing different forms of "flexible" hours but that can result in fewer total hours in some industries.
I would recommend thinking about what you really would like to do -- what are your strengths that you can bring to a job/career? Then evaluate that against the expectations of the job for hours, etc.
