Employment or professional activities that someone pursues after retiring from their main career, or a second career.
Compound of 'after' and 'career' (from French carrière, 'racecourse' then 'course of life'). A modern term reflecting 21st-century trends of longer lifespans and multiple careers.
The concept of an 'aftercareer' is reshaping retirement—many people now have 20-30 working years after their first career ends, which is why you see former CEOs becoming consultants, teachers becoming artists, or engineers starting nonprofits.
