In the Your Money special section that we published in print on Wednesday, our theme was “Bulletproofing Your Finances.” One way to make sure you never run out of money is to have a job that you can continue to do until your dying day.

There are plenty of stockbrokers, accountants and lawyers who work well into their 70s or 80s, but if you lack the training to do that kind of work it’s hard to switch into it once you’re past the traditional retirement age. So we looked for positions that seemed to have a growing number of (much) older workers, and that’s when we found out about all of the work in casinos for the older set.

Could you do what you do all day at the age of 80? If not, have you looked at your retirement savings trajectory, found it wanting and considered switching into a career where you could work well past the age of 65?
