Finding a job at my age is pretty tough.

I'm 56 later this year and trying to find a job at this age is no picnic. Coupled with a slight physical disability "the half a thumb problem" it's been challenging. There's got to be something I can do out there it's finding it that's the tough part.

You could always start your own business 🙂

@smileylovesgaming You make a fair point but it need not be a fortune depending on the business one wishes to start.🙂

@smileylovesgaming Depends on the country and the type of business. Sometimes you can apply for a grant but then if you get it you have to fulfill certain extra conditions set by the state. Also, becoming self-employed doesn't cost anything here (Slovakia) if you set it up online, you only have to be able to pay monthly fee for health care insurance, which you have to pay anyway unless you're registered as unemployed. So if you already have means and the gear to work on your own, you can start right away.

@Dlrannie I've considered that but normally that requires a start up cost and supplies. I'm only really good at music and hair.

@smileylovesgaming Not necessarily.
