25 In-Demand Part Time Jobs For Retirees - You CAN work and be Retired!

[@lindadorman2869]

I started reselling vintage clothing, accessories and home decor online. Finding items to sell at estate sales, yard sales and thrift stores is like a treasure hunt and the extra income supplements my retirement funds. I set my own schedule and make my own decisions. I love learning about brands, fabrics, designers, etc...and sharing that knowledge with my customers. It's the perfect side gig for anyone who likes to shop and wants a flexible schedule.

[@RetireandGo]

Reselling sounds fun! Finding items at flea markets and garage sales then reselling them This is great !

[@ellenwoelfel5688]

Where online do you sell? I used to sell on ebay but would rather not ship items. Do you sell on Facebook marketplace?

[@RetirementTransformed]

This is such a great idea. Thank you for sharing it. Sounds like fun too!

[@jann1717]

@@ellenwoelfel5688 I'd love to know as well. I looked into selling on Amazon but there is a carrying cost until you make some sales and not sure it's for me.

[@AvisPope]

Those are smart ideas 🤗

[@prettygirlus9008]

The number one part-time job for retirees is making KZbin videos about retirement.

[@RetirementTransformed]

Hahahah! For us it’s a great part time job!

Too much work

[@m.alicegreen]

I am an insurance broker and I have talked to so many of my clients who have decided that going back to work in some capacity fulfills their need for money and meaning. I also have clients who are facing pressure from their employers to go ahead and retire even though they don't really want to. Corporate pressure on older workers creates a very toxic work environment and so they move toward retirement with a resolve to find something else to do as soon as possible. I think it's really sad, and so I am working to create a channel that helps people caught in those situations to move into a satisfying role of their own choosing. I like this channel!

[@RetirementTransformed]

That sounds great. What is the name lf your channel?

[@m.alicegreen]

@@RetirementTransformed Well, when you ask a question like that, I can see I am just going to have to gird my loins and jump in the deep end! No name yet but there will be one in a few days. I will be back here to tell it too!

[@lynnyo1467]

I agree and am one of those. However finding something new a different is what I'm doing. I don't need a new big career, just something to feel like I'm contributing and more time to relax. I'm not going just sit around . I watched my parents do that. It was scarey watching them decay before my eyes. Stay active - body soul and spirit.😊

[@over40nfab]

Been retired for a little more than a year - 30+ years with a fortune 100 company in a director position - i'm "only" 57 seriously considering pursing my elementary teaching certification through an alternative certification path and teaching a few years.

[@RetirementTransformed]

I think that’s fantastic. Influencing this age group with your wisdom and experience can make a huge difference in their lives.

[@erbiumfiber]

My mother is a retired paralegal, took a few years off to care for her father, then became a teacher's aide for special needs students. My advice is give a teacher's aide job a try before you make the commitment for getting certified, see if you like it. Pretty much all school districts have a difficult time getting aides, the pay is pretty bad. She had a great special ed teacher that she worked for and they worked well together for 10 years. Also you can pick and choose the jobs and grades. Good luck whatever you choose.

[@people60plus]

Great ideas. A part time job provides money, entertainment, social life, purpose, brain exercise and so on. It's also important to keep a schedule, not to become too lazy or bored.

[@RetirementTransformed]

Thanks for the comment

[@AvisPope]

So true 💯

[@gimcrack555]

I'm 60 not retired yet. Retiring age 67. Right now I'm just part-time as a caregiver. I also run a flea market booth over the weekend. I also know how to repair PC's and Laptops. I even know how to build websites. So love to hustle for a buck. Kinda retire right now, but I'll slow down even slower at the age 67. So relax more, but still hustle for sure.

[@RetirementTransformed]

Great story. Thank you

Has to confirm with " Ticket To Work " program, and there is a " cap " on what you can make...I'm coming out of battling COVID 19/positive)2x, and injuries from a auto accident.. I'm on " pain injections ", meds, chiropractors, and physical therapists..Keeping the pain down is a " goal " in itself...

[@RetirementTransformed]

Sorry to hear about your ailments and pain. Im hoping for a speedy recovery.

[@pjg7999]

Great information. I got my teaching licensure during Covid after 30 years in pharmaceutical sales. Although working more than I want right now the school year offers a lot of time off. I work for a teaching contract company, so it offers more flexibility than a full-time teaching assignment with a school district.

[@RetirementTransformed]

Awesome!

[@purepositivity7404]

What do you teach?

[@lindawang5949]

How and what kind licensure in pharmaceutical?

[@helenspencer8016]

Hello from Washington State. I am so glad I came across your video! Lots of helpful information. I am 61 and working a very part time job while looking for one with more hours. My dilemma is the response I get from every job I apply for is the same.."we are going with a different candidate" even when it's a position that I am currently doing. Very disheartening 😢

[@RetirementTransformed]

Yes it must be difficult to hear that. Hopefully something positive will happen soon. Don't give up!

[@melissahamm8122]

You forgot one pet sitting in dog walking is also fun because it's really good exercise can you get to be with a really good companion who appreciates your every moment❤

I could not imagine spending my retirement slacking off for the rest of my life. Most of my career, I have loved the work I've done, but I've always known I would be doing something else -- something more meaningful -- if making money wasn't so important. So now this is the time I finally get to pursue all the projects I've conjured up over the years that may solve a problem that a lot of people are trying to solve, help others pursue an art I am advanced in, help people enjoy life a little more, or just make their lives easier in some way. But I can pursue them without having to worry about whether they'll be "profitable" or not -- maybe they will, maybe they won't -- but I'm just having the time of my life now just getting to see how all my "little ideas" turn out.

[@RetirementTransformed]

This is great. Sounds like you have an active life planned out

[@MW-eg4gu]

I am 76 and I retired similar to the human being I was when younger. I taught English-Literature to Middle and High School students for 33 years. Upon retirement, I did what most who teach this subject really want to do - I have written novels and short stories. After my first years of retirement at this, so far, I have made about 20 dollars in sales. In the grand tradition of the eccentric writer, I remain the eccentric as I was in my youth. I remember reading someone famous who said what other profession is there that you spend gazillions of hours doing and in the end you don't know if you'll make any money.

[@RetirementTransformed]

That could be. I just published my first book and it took nearly two years to write. It’s quite a journey but I will do it again I am sure.

[@MW-eg4gu]

Congrats published writer! Well, you know how it is, I've got four on Amazon. Publishing not a problem Making money is. Any advice?

[@dondenis1500]

I would like to find a part time job working 3 days a week and having 4 days off, are these jobs around? with my pension and Social Security I think this would work out fine for me. I would not have to dip into my investments until I would really need to.

[@RetirementTransformed]

I believe jobs like that exist. But you will have to search your local area. If you have special talents such as working with a computer you might find something that you could do from home.

[@gordonkiker4056]

#1 Mystic Seaport Village. #2 The person/occupation you were thinking of is a blacksmith (anvil/bellows).

[@obscurelyvague]

Doctor, lawyer, teacher ? What if you were a porter, a cleaning lady, or a bike messenger?

[@RetirementTransformed]

I think the same would apply. The point of our video is to get us thinking about some level of part time work even through retirement or at least in the early phase. We have friends who are part time and even full time grandparents.

[@anngray9171]

Do you know there are whole vlogs on cleaning. It's quite a cult thing you know, talking about how to clean and tidy like a professional.

We do not give financial advice. I’m sure you can find a financial planner or your accountant to answer this

[@DarrylTHampton]

It depends on which state you are living in because there are some states don't do income taxes

[@DarrylTHampton]

I lived in california and this state if you are working at the end of the year we have to fill out income taxes

[@christineblaszczyk1602]

If you have your health which many don't once retired. So working part time isn't a possibility for many.

[@RetirementTransformed]

You may be right. But it depends on the health issue as well. There may be some stay at home jobs for those with computer skills for example. But having your healtth makes all the difference in the world.

Your comments about working in a library environment might need a little more input. I’ve had experience as a public and academic librarian and yelling and irate patrons are unfortunately common occurrences. There can be a great deal of job-related stress both from fellow workers and library patrons. That being said, working in libraries can be very rewarding and is an incredibly important role in our society. However, not to be taken on by the faint of heart or those who idealize the environment. I do not regret a moment spent dedicated to this career but want to keep it real for anyone thinking of this option in retirement. Thank you for all of this content as a great starting point for discussion.

[@RetirementTransformed]

Working in a library can be stressful, but also incredibly rewarding. It's definitely not for the faint of heart, but for those who are up for the challenge, it's a vital role in society. Thank you for shedding light on the realities of this career. It's a great starting point for discussion.
