Where Will All The Part-time Jobs Come From?
This post from Cantankerous Life discusses part-time work in retirement and the scarcity of part-time jobs for retirees who wish to supplement their income. In our opinion, there is no scarcity of jobs with the implementation of an online business. This has never been easier for retirees or those soon to be retired. Check out our post from last week’s round-up that was devoted to online entrepreneurship for over Over 50’s.

Scott Adams is the creator of the Dilbert comic strip that is published daily in thousands of newspapers and websites all over the world.

Scott Adams has likely failed at more things than anyone you’ve ever met or anyone you’ve even heard of. So how did he go from hapless office worker and serial failure to the creator of Dilbert, one of the world’s most famous syndicated comic strips, in just a few years? In How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big, Adams shares the game plan he’s followed since he was a teen: invite failure in, embrace it, then pick its pocket.
