Online Tutor
If you enjoy working with students, consider online tutoring as a good job for senior citizens. You can connect with students across the country and teach the subjects you’re passionate about. Plus, as an independent contractor, you can pick and choose which students you want to tutor.
You can register to tutor through an online site, like Chegg, where the site claims tutors can earn $20 per hour, and the top 5 percent of tutors bring home $1,000 per month — which is almost as much as the average Social Security check. To tutor with Chegg, you need to have attended college and might need to take a proficiency exam for certain subjects.
