016: At 71 years old, Deborah had had an extremely rewarding career she had recently retired from, and she was excited to take life at a slower pace. However, watching Netflix all day was too slow for her. She wanted to travel more with her husband and not worry about finances.
That meant she needed a job she could enjoy but wouldn't pull her out of her retirement lifestyle. She found transcript proofreading, studied hard to build up the necessary skills...and then a very unexpected medical challenge stopped her in her tracks.
In this episode, Deborah shares her fascinating career in the closed captioning industry, her transition into retirement, and how she overcame a major roadblock to become a successful transcript proofreader. She also talks about how to get outside of your comfort zone to learn new things and live life to the fullest no matter what your age.
She's proof you can have fun and make money at any stage of life if you're willing to learn and put in the work!
