Encore career
An encore career is work in the second half of life that combines continued income, greater personal meaning, and social impact. These jobs are paid positions often in public interest fields, such as education, the environment, health, the government sector, social services, and other nonprofits. Encore Fellowships, created in 2009 by the nonprofit Encore.org, are designed to transition highly experienced professionals from the corporate sector into encore careers in the social sector.
The phrase "encore career" was first made popular by Marc Freedman, the founder and CEO of Encore.org in his book ''Encore: Finding Work That Matters in the Second Half of Life.''〔http://www.encore.org/about_the_book〕
==Popular use of the term==
Nicholas Kristof, writing in the ''New York Times'', notes that Bill Gates' switch to working full-time for his foundation "is part of a booming trend: the 'encore career' as a substitute for retirement. Definitions are still in flux, but an encore career typically aims to provide a dose of personal satisfaction by 'giving back.'" 〔''New York Times'', "Geezers Doing Good" 7/20/08 http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/20/opinion/20kristof.html〕 Writes Kristof: "If more people take on encore careers… the boomers who arrived on the scene by igniting a sexual revolution could leave by staging a give-back revolution. Boomers may just be remembered more for what they did in their 60s than for what they did in the Sixties." Syndicated columnist Ellen Goodman cites Al Gore as a "poster child, the model for what Marc Freedman calls the 'encore career.' The head of Civic Ventures (known as Encore.org ), a think tank promoting civic engagement as the second act for boomers, Freedman says, 'Gore found himself by losing himself - literally losing - and being liberated from ambition, the idea that there's a particular ladder you have to scurry up and if you don't make it to the top it's all over. Essentially he found a different ladder.'" 〔''Boston Globe'', "Second Acts," Oct. 19, 2007〕
