Docent
For those who have graduated in Art History, museums would love someone like you to help educate visitors. Who wouldn’t love to use their knowledge while spending time among fabulous works of art? This is definitely one of the nicest ways to spend your time during retirement, so what are you waiting for?
Inn Sitter
If you are a social butterfly, you will definitely love this job. There are networks of inn sitters across the country that replace B&B owners when they’re away. All you need is a lot of energy and hospitality skills. What? You’ve already got them? Well, you’re all set then.
You did not mention retail merchandiser. These people work for 3rd parties (outside companies) to help retailers such as Target, Walmart, Publix, Home Depot, etc get tasks done. These tasks are typically 10 to 30 minutes long and depending on the area you live in, available in all the branches of the retailer you are working with. You can sign up for these jobs online, complete the projects on your schedule (within a one or two-week time frame), and get paid by electronic payment. The tasks include placing coupons on products, checking for product availability in the store, and setting up small displays. The work is reported using your phone. This is a great job for seniors.
Is this a joke? The retired people, that I know, all have health issues, and need sit, down jobs. This article lists many that say, “it’s hard work, but”. I have a 70 year old friend, who just quit Starbucks after 2 weeks, due to the intensity of learning. Anyway, in the richest country in the world, we have too many seniors that MUST work to make ends meet! WHY????
Get rid of the nasty ads!!!
