In this article, by retired we generally refer to people age 60 and above so the jobs presented here are those which are regarded as safe for elderly people to pursue, depending on their present condition. After retirement there are numerous available jobs for retired individuals.

Some elderly have their own personal reasons why they want to get employment after retiring. Some want to pursue a particular job because they find it very enjoyable and had really wanted to do it before, if not for the job that they already had, and then there are jobs which entail few responsibilities and are not physically challenging but rewarding and fulfilling at the same time.

Before going head on and applying for jobs for retired people first ask yourself: 1) What is the main reason behind your desire to work after retiring? Is it basically because of money or is it just because you are bored; 2) If it is about money, then exactly how much do you need and does the job offer enough as well as give you an escape from boredom; 3) Will you still have the patience or willingness to take on the responsibilities that comes with the job, and does it offer the flexibility you want in terms of when and how long you would like to work; and 4) If this particular work was your lifelong passion, will it now be worth the trouble?



More often as a retiree you have accumulated a bit of savings or you have decided to get your pension as a lump sum. If you have enough finances and are willing then you can open your own business. You can also inquire if the government gives business incentives.

If you have a piece of land, you can develop it into a farm or fishpond if it is large enough, or start a livestock business, such as a poultry, piggery, or cattle ranch or if the space is not that large you can start a backyard garden - visit local restaurants and find out what vegetables and fruits they need so you can be their supplier. If you have a flair for cooking then you could open a catering business or make sausages or any foods you know how to make and sell these retail or wholesale. You can open a bakery and even do the baking yourself if you know how and want to.

If you prefer to still be in a service capacity, jobs for retired people include being a gardener, and advertise as such, starting with your neighbors. If you have knowledge about household electricity then you could be the neighborhood electrician or if you have knowledge in plumbing then you can start being a plumber. If you have the creativity and equipment, you can be a freelance photographer or set up a photo studio. You can be a dressmaker if you know how to sew. All it takes is a little knowledge and a lot of willingness. If you don’t have the knowledge it is still possible provided you have the finances.

Online jobs for retired people involve making your very own website. You can even do it yourself if you have the know-how or you can ask for the services of professional website builders. Here are a few examples of a personal business website: 1) Travel tips website; 2) Pet care website; 3) Cooking and recipes website; 4) Gardens and landscaping website; and don’t forget 5) Multi-level Marketing website, however, more often a website is better just as an extension of your offline business, as a source of extra income.

Among all the retirement jobs being a consultant is the one where retirees really have an advantage. A lot of companies and businesses pay a good amount of money seeking the opinion and expertise of experienced workers. You can be a consultant for the company you previously worked for. Also, you can find consulting jobs online and you can present your resume and wait for a response. And lastly, you can be a volunteer; a lot of organizations all across America and the whole world need more members to help them in civic oriented projects.

As a retiree you now enjoy a level of flexibility and freedom which you have not had while you were still burdened with the duties and responsibilities of your job. Now, at last you can strike out on your own, put up your own business or, if you have the drive and energy, even multiple businesses; do the jobs or things you have always wanted to do.
