Senior-Friendly Jobs That Are Perfect for Retirement

Substitute Teacher

Average pay: $15.15 per hour

For people who like working with kids, substitute teaching offers a flexibility that makes this one of the best retirement jobs. Also, its requirements might be relatively easy to meet.

“A teaching certificate is easy to obtain in some areas around the country, and this allows seniors to work when they want,” said Danielle Kunkle Roberts, co-owner of Boomer Benefits, a licensed insurance agency.

Do note that you’ll be on your feet most of the day, which could be a drawback if you can’t stand for extended periods of time. Requirements to become a substitute teacher vary by state, so check with your local Department of Education.
