Financial Investment Services

• As youngsters, a majority of baby boomers ignored securing a nest egg in favor of peace, love and freedom. Now, as they cruise toward retirement, many baby boomers are in dire need of financial investment advice and services. Accountants, lawyers specializing in trusts and estate management, investment advisers and insurance agents stand to benefit from baby boomers seeking professional advice on how to manage the wealth they've built up over the years. Baby-boomers aside, there are also many young and middle-aged workers seeking professional help creating future financial security. With unstable markets and a rocky economy making many people rethink their investment strategies, the financial investment services field is sure to have a surplus of clients across age groups seeking professional advice.
  
  

Nursing and At-Home Elderly Care

• Baby boomers need help caring for their elderly parents. Even if their parents live independently, many baby boomers like the idea of hiring nurses or other personal assistance services to help their parents when they can't. Grocery shopping, chauffeuring, cooking meals and physical therapy for this age group are great areas for anyone seeking self-employment. Agencies that provide round-the-clock nursing care are also in high demand, particularly for the elderly who need 24-hour assistance.
  
  

Retirement Real Estate

• Many baby boomers are looking to retire in warm climates in such places as Arizona and Florida. Selling retirement properties or condos in these states could provide lucrative employment in the coming years.
  
  

Personal Care

• Botox, Pilates, yoga and spa treatments may appeal to members of all age groups, but baby boomers obsessed with how they look and feel won't mind parting with their hard-earned money consistently to stay fit and firm. Entrepreneurs who can help keep members of this age group young and healthy could see bountiful gains over the next 5 to 10 years.

If you're expertise is information technology, consider doing consulting work in your field, which continues to grow as the world becomes more and more technologically hard-wired.
