Have You Thought about the Service Industry?

Published on: 30th July, 2023

So what about part-time work? And maybe the service industry is the place to find it! There are many businesses looking for part-time help; you can pick the hours, decide on the services you want to provide, and there's no stress involved because it's not your "life work".

Servers, bartenders, dog walkers, cab drivers...there are so many options out there! Don't brush off this way to make some extra money and be part of what's going on, without taking the time to check it out.

Beyond Retirement
What really happens after retirement?

If you’re approaching retirement—or already there—and wondering what now?, you’re not alone. The world is full of financial advice for retirement, but there’s far less about how to actually live a fulfilling life once the 9-to-5 ends.

Beyond Retirement is the podcast that explores what comes after the career chapter. Whether your retirement was planned or unexpected, joyful or jarring, you’ll find real stories, honest conversations, and practical inspiration here.

Join host Jacquie Doucette as she shares her own journey and speaks with people who’ve reimagined life after work—some fully retired, some shifting gears, and all discovering new meaning in this next stage. From finding purpose to building community, embracing play, and navigating change, we’ll explore how to create a life that truly fits.

Because retirement isn’t the end—it’s a new beginning.

Let’s figure out what comes next, together.
