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.
