Virtual Assistant
Average pay: $17.38 per hour
Being a virtual assistant means you can work from home. You can also likely set your own hours, making it a great part-time job for seniors.
“For people retiring with good computer skills, doing virtual assistant work is an opportunity for more regular income,” Kunkle said. “There are a couple of companies out there offering VA certifications, and then you can join online job websites like Upwork to showcase your skills and find opportunities.”
The downside: If you’re looking for social interaction, this probably isn’t a good fit.
