Job Search Ideas.

[dwjz06]

Ok folks. Some serious here, but knowing you all there will be goofy chit as well.:D I rarely make threads.

So Just looking for ideas here. You all have all had vastly different life experiences I am sure. I am almost 60. Retired from my full time job of 25 years recently. (Outsourcing and poor management were the deciding factors for retiring) They are paying the lion share of my health insurance for life unless I give it up or croak first. So I am giving some personal information here just to keep it somewhat on track.

Ok so some parameters may be in order too.

1. I have provided for the family raised the kids all of that so it is just me, myself and I to consider here.:seasix: I do not have to make baller money. I do have to cover say 20 ish years left on the planet. Maybe:D

2. I know the world needs ditch diggers too. A little old for that now. So Emanuel labor and I are not friends:D

3. Mostly association work and sitting in front of a computer, customer service etc... for over 25 years, and a lot of travel to run meetings, etc. Not really interested in the same line of work or the travel. Been to 38 states so far.:cert: Had lots of different jobs through the years. Military etc.. Please no retail suggestions:lol:

4. I really just want to work. Like what I do. Be helpful to a company/place. Make some decent money until I can really retire. Let's call 45-50K or under decent for this new line of work. Financial guy says the math is no good at this time to fully be retired due to divorce some years back:D So whatever it is I will need to work 5-7 years ish? Maybe more? Could be less? Age seems to matter more than I thought.

5. So what I am interested in is what types of work or ideas for what types of jobs for a semi retired person to look into given above average work ethic, dependable, reliable person with above average intelligence can fit in well with? I will not answer personal stuff on the thread. You can Pm me if you think you need more detail.

6. Remote ideas? located in FL currently.

Ok so this could go sideways, but since I consider many on here friends through the many years of interaction I thought it would be interesting, and could be fun for others to see your ideas as well. OK Go!:seasix:

Sirius, what exactly did you do in your career? FL college/university system is recovering and are starting to unfreeze the hiring processes. Local school boards are doing the same and it's all within the FRS (retirement plan) system and transferrable.

The world needs plumbers, electricians, and truck drivers.

Also, my local "nextdoor", folks are constantly asking for handyman work. I could easily charge $50/ hour cash if so inclined.

I have 2 retirements behind me, Uncle Sam and 20 more years with local govt. When I retired last February, I told myself and my wife, I'm not doing shit until January and so far, I have lived up to this.

Once January shows up, I may do volunteer work. With my 2 retirements along with hers, plus 2 social security's, house and cars are paid off and a respectable savings and investments, we're fine. We never lived beyond our means like many


I am considering going back to where I just came from but through and employment agency working for a good friend in another department who needs some help a few days a week.

[MikeB]

I was in the same boat at 63. Gave up my professional career (electronic designer)

Waiting on the SS ponzi to start in 2.5 years, I took a job as a
beginner mechanic at a scissor lift/boom lift rental local company.
All I had to do was check-in and clean/fuel/park returning lifts.
Any mechanicasl problems found, write it up and put in the queue
for the mechanics.

Easy work for 7 months.
Got promoted to office/dispatch help for the next 2 years,
until I had to quite because of the SOs health problems.

So, I'd suggest look for equipment rental firms and see what they have to offer.
I did all types of office stuff: CDL tracking, as well as delivery drivers DOT daily records.
Kept tract of daily/weekly/monthly reports for deliveries & pick-ups. Was a fun job, Started at $13.00, raised up $18.00 an hour in less than 2 years.
Got annual bonuses plus profit sharing too. $20k in less than 3 years.

You never know what's out there.

i just checked SSA, and they have updated numbers for what you can expect to get upon filing for benefits. nice increase across the board. so i copied my numbers to a spreadsheet i've made to compare scenarios and they break even around 80 for me. since I was born in April, when i file at 62, i won't get a check until May. so only 7 checks first year.

if you've had a decent work history, SS is some good money to fill gaps you might have, or you can let investments alone for later.

as for work? no idea in FL, or anywhere else.

drive around, see who has signs up. or just stop in places you might like and ask if they are hiring. piano player in a cat house? :slap:

Car service.either a town car driving execs to/from the airport/meetings etc or stretch limo for parties/ weddings/concerts etc.

Did it for 7+ yrs. Was one of three drivers out of 50 that treated it like a full time job. Most were retired teachers/managers etc.

Or maybe running new cars from dealership to dealership. Shuttle service for a dealership?


Edit: only car service had good tips (about $12k a year) but all of the above have no cost to get into and you can stay in it until you’re shitty at driving :thumbs:

Yeah I thought about taking SS at 62 as well, but still there will be a shortfall due to the ex getting half my pension money. I need to leave the rest of it alone to make some money.

I am considering going back to where I just came from but through and employment agency working for a good friend in another department who needs some help a few days a week.Pretty much the same idea, but for different reasons. 1. Getting some health stuff in order, and taking a bit of a break. I have worked for 45 years. 2. I will then have to dip into my money after Jan. The job thing will be more important after the first of the year:D

[GTOguy]

What Yadkin said. I get solicited for jobs weekly due to my CDL I've had from my old job.
I retired at 60, but with full medical. And am taking my SS in 3 months at 62.
I have always lived under my means and have saved money. Now it's time to live, IMO.
Can you downsize or tighten up so you don't need to go back to work? You are only a couple years shy of SS. And will your SS be enough, with your retirement, to live on?
Many people hire older folks because they have a great work ethic and are reliable and not on dope. You should easily be able to get a job at Ace hardware, NAPA auto parts, or driving a local delivery truck. Or even do on-line stuff.

[LATB]

Yes you will have to hang your license with a broker. They are everywhere. Especially in Florida. And yes they take a cut of the commission, but usually offer advice and basic administrative support.

And there’s nothing wrong with hopping brokerages. I’ve been with several over the years. Including a large Re/Max office at one point. Don’t do that, take my advice. Get in a small boutique brokerage office.

The money is there. It will always be there (despite what some think). It does take more effort than most see. There are significant expenses. And you have to deal with a lot of people, vendors, lenders, Bla Bla Bla.
PITA
But it’s mostly rewarding.

Think about this:
Every million dollars worth of property that is listed has about 50 thousand dollars in commission attached to it. :seasix:

:iagree: When I did my math, my break-even age is 79 collecting at 62 vs 67.
That is a boat-load of money I can invest or spend while I am still young enough to enjoy it. Taking it early for me is a no-brainer. Lot's of guys look at the monthly numbers and wait the full length of time and then die in 3-5 years. Or sooner.

[Taurus]

Reading your story, this one is easy:

This, I have a couple friends that did this prior to retiring and have done well. The only downside is competition and interest rates today. It's not an easy way to earn but you control your time management.

I retired early last year at 63 and spend time volunteering in a hospital ER as a patient advocate. I know there are several paid positions there as well, you may want to look at whoever is the major provider in your market's website You may be surprised what you find and it's pretty rewarding as well.

Me too, my break even was 68 and since SS is really the gravy for me as I can live without it, why not take it now and invest? No guarantees to out live it anyways.

[Sea Six]

Don you should put in your application with Search And Rescue.

They’re always looking for somebody.

Don and all. Thing is with SS at 62 it will impact your health Ins big. If you do not have a company sponsored Retirement health plan,and have to go to ACA for Oblunder Care, SS @$24k+ yrly Ttl can and will push ya over the AGI calculations if ya claim Gov Subsidizes

Ie. If ya make less than $65 k (call your accountant to find out your threshold), and add the SS as income ya loose subsidization with an AGI total of $89k ya loose ACA subsidization and have to spend ~$2-3k monthly for insurance wiping out SS draw down you Will get at 62

This was my dads situation. He waited until the last possible minute to retire and passed away a month before he retired. I’m hoping to take as early as possible. I’ve still got some time though as I’m only 40

To Mike’s point he may have missed that my old company is picking up most of my health insurance. I pay less than 25% so it is cost effective for me to keep it.:cert:

Might be good for part time work as well since they usually do not pay benefits. I have worked on getting my monthly bill stuff down as well. The bad part is I got the new bike right before the retirement stuff was worked out. So now I have that added:D having a ton of fun with it though.

Why would you be thankful for getting ripped off? If you had been able to invest your and your employers' "contributions", you would have a boatload.

[Vette40th]

I am not tahnkful for the rip off, I am thankful for the retirement portion.

[Yadkin]

SS hurts the poor the most since it basically ensures that they will have nothing for their families to inherit.

[LATB]

Why would you be thankful for getting ripped off? If you had been able to invest your and your employers' "contributions", you would have a boatload.

Correct. But, SS is not an investment/retirement plan. It is a tax on those who are earning. And welfare for those who are receiving benefits.

[LATB]

What do you call military benefits?

I suppose those are called military benefits. :island14:

[Vette40th]

Consider Military benefits welfare like you consider SS payments welfare? Both paid by the government :seasix:
Oh please, stop the BS. Anyone who doesnt like the retirement a member gets is ignorant to what it is.
Military Retirements were contract based. You made it to 20-40 years, you were given a benefit of retirement. Very few do..
If you were injured anytime in the Military, the VA can compensate you via money and of course health care for the ailment.
Now, If I was a fat slob, 23 years old and had a hang nail, Social Security Disability is being sectioned out to that too. It was never intended for so many programs that are there now. Go into an SS office and see the people in there. Feel free to profile many in there. Disgusting. But they think it is an entitlement.
Get a job, honor the contract, and that is that. Damn it pisses me off when people think the military retirement is a BS government entitlement minded program of welfare proportions.

I believe SS and military benefits are earned, not welfare, even if the government pays it. Another member brought up wefare:yesnod:

No they did not. I know what you did. And so do you..
They stated they were military benefits which you put it together and and insinuated that if its paid by the Government, then its a welfare. With a question mark as if you had a "gotcha moment"
My retirement is paid via DOD/US Navy through DFAS and the US Navys budget.

UniqueDoug can get a $ 50 referral bonus if he refers a new applicant to CFA. Just forum members looking out for each other here. Pretty simple stuff.

May want to look at LATB post few back and tell me he did not say SS is welfare paid by the government:seasix:

Correct, SS is welfare paid by the government.

[dwjz06]

Correct, SS is welfare paid by the government.Or as GTrain has said many times it is just a tax:D

Sorry for bumping the thread. It's great to see that you're actively seeking new job opportunities and looking for ideas. I totally understand that you're not interested in retail or the same line of work you did before. Since you mentioned that you're open to remote work, virtual assistance could be a viable option. You can offer your skills in organization, attention to detail, and customer service remotely to support businesses or individuals. Another promising area for you to explore could be phlebotomy. One advantage of pursuing a career in phlebotomy is that only 4 states require phlebotomists to be certified (https://phlebotomynearyou.com/phlebotomy-license/). Becoming a phlebotomist could offer you great growth potential, as well as a good income and various opportunities.

I wanna be a spammer that goes from forum to forum spewing spam filled links... In between screwing my sheep and drinking the same water I just took a leak in of course. I dream big. :yesnod:

[Bill]

There's not even a sketchy link. I don't get the scam here? Is this an AI chatbot to make some bullshit posts, then, with multiple posts on the forum, a history, at that time start with the sketchy links?

I really don't get it.

Edit: Before I got IP banned from Reddit, certain subs insisted on a combo of account age and a minimum number of points before a user could post.

Easy! Post clever things on the cute animals' subs, rake in the points, then post in other subs until banned, then move on to the next one.

Is a phlebotomy a surgery where you have your phleb removed? :island14:
