Don’t claim your work experience? Do you want a job that pays $20 an hr or over $200k a year? Experience got me in this arena with good paying jobs, and a lot of enterprises will pay for that experience. Young people are, let’s just say unskilled to be friendly, and corporations don’t have the time to teach them, mainly because are current generation doesn’t want to learn nor do they want to work, they don’t want to start at the bottom and work their way up the ladder, they want to start at the top. I wouldn’t hire anybody less than 40 if I had a business nowadays and I would pay my employees well for their knowledge and work ethics

I'm the same. 58 and semi retired. Accounting degree. Been looking all over. You won't make more than 15 or 20 bucks an hour unless you go to Orlando.

The villages is always hiring.

I'm not opposed to volunteer work but I would like a few "Cruise Bucks" every now and then.

I would go broke, paying customers to watch me dance is expensive and dangerous!

Ambassador at golf?

I'm a retired accountant. Don't need nor want money from a paid part time job. I volunteer with AARP, at a food bank, with Sumter County and the hospital. I enjoy getting out and talking with people and helping people.
Extra money just means extra irs taxes to pay, less spontaneous travel, and no golf at the drop of the hat. I love my retired life.

Ps. My background is in respiratory care. I love my position but something a bit less stressful sounds good.

Some retired folks work part time at Publix. I'm sure there are other part time jobs for shops in the area. Maybe you would enjoy a less stressful position in the medical profession. There are plenty of doctor's offices in the area. Or possibly a medical supply store.

If you don't need the extra money and just want to stay busy maybe you would enjoy volunteering your time? Such as an animal shelter or other non-profit close to your heart. Or maybe volunteering at an assisted living facility in activities? Or if you are a dog or cat lover you could start pet sitting, for an income of course.

Take the CFP exam and start working your own hours at your own rate. .
I would if i was younger retiree, but not any more. . .

There are many villagers who could use a very good independent CFP

If financial work is what you’re looking for Citizens Bank certainly seems to do a lot of business in TV. AARP and IRS need tax assistants. There are several investment forms with storefronts in TV. Coleman Prison had an accounting job listed. The State of Florida government as well as counties usually have openings sime are remote.Here’s an idd one: HSN (Home shopping network in St. pete FL) hires only FL remote customer service operators.

For healthcare, what about Visiting Angels or another home health care or in-home hospice organization? My parents needed in-home oxygen & there were oxygen equipment delivery services with trained staff who (thankfully) helped instruct me since I had no clue about any of it. What about pharmacy tech? Rehab services assistant? Healthcare seems like it should be easy.
Good Luck!

Do not think there is a huge market for 70 year old pole dancers.

A friend got married a few years ago and tried to find him a stripper for a bachelor party but that did not go well either.

I have been looking for a replacement for my Federal Government job. $60 per hour to work from home and do nothing. Still looking. Let me know if you have any leads.

Has anyone on this forum thought about advertising as a driver? How do seniors who have reached the point where they really can't drive get around especially to and from doctor appointments?
