Industry analyst is a great role for 50+. I joined Gartner at 40 and it felt like the beginning of my career. I am 57 now. The big analyst firms like to hire people with expertise and a thirst for knowledge. The job requires speaking and writing skills as well as expertise. But I can attest that you can pick those up along the way. I am writing a book on how to succeed as an analyst. Short version: pick a space (has to have vendors in it), write about it, speak about it, be the expert.
