Senior-Friendly Jobs That Are Perfect for Retirement

Entrepreneur

Average pay: Varies — $39.64 per hour for management consultants and $29.72 per hour for freelance writers

Although starting your own business might buck the retirement jobs standard, give it a whirl if it’s always something you’ve wanted to do.

“Whether you worked in sales officially, or just helped your kids sell cookies at the grocery store before retirement, turn these skills into a flexible working arrangement like consulting or freelancing,” Cenedella said. “Create your own hours and utilize your network or local community to get started.”

Because entrepreneurial income isn’t always reliable — at least, at first — this option is probably best if you’re looking for more of a pastime than a way to pay the bills.
