Security Guard

As a security guard, you’ll be protecting property from theft, vandalism, and other illegal activities. It’s a job that keeps your mind alert and body fit. But the demands of the job vary, as in some places you might have to spend a big part of the time on your feet, while in other places the job requires a more stationary position.

Dental Assistant

This depends a lot on the state you live in, as well. But in some states, you can apply to a part-time job as a dental assistant, where you have to perform routine tasks, such as sterilizing equipment and maintaining patient records.

    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????
