5 Side Gigs for Retirees
Some retirees just aren't ready to leave the working world altogether. Others would be thrilled to quit working, but need at least a little extra income to supplement the traditional retirement hat trick of Social Security, retirement savings, and a pension (if you're lucky). Whichever category you fall into, here are some ideas for side jobs that can work particularly well for retirees.
Many call centers allow you to work from home, which is extremely convenient for retirees who never want to commute to an office again. Minimum requirements are a dedicated phone line and reliable Internet access. Call centers often need round-the-clock support, so if you are a night owl this job may be a natural for you. Expect to make somewhere in the neighborhood of $8 to $10 an hour, unless you have special skills such as experience with tech support. If all that sounds intriguing, fire up your favorite Internet search engine and try searching for terms like "call center jobs," "work from home call center," and similar phrases.
