When international midfielder Hidetoshi Nakata recently announced his retirement from soccer, people wondered what he would do in the next stage of his life -- business, sports, or a combination of both?
Whatever he chooses, there is no doubt Nakata will continue to attract attention, and the publicity will make it easier for him to make money out of it.
But not all athletes enjoy Nakata's status. Staffing firms are finding new opportunities to cash in on retired professional and amateur athletes who are looking for a second career.
