7. Editor
Retired English teachers and others with writing skills and experience can easily apply for the post of Editor.
An editor’s role is to confirm the value of writing. It may involve fact-checking to confirm the exactness of data, but the editor also transmits out the vision for the article, making sure that it’s useful and of interest to readers.
The editor may deliver inclusive direction for the article and in some cases, may work with art directors or designers on layouts and visuals to go with the article. Being hired as an Editor is a brilliant opportunity for pensioned-off teachers who have a keen eye for detail and a yearn for a flexible way to make extra income.
I retired because of my hands have arthritis. It took me on my job longer and longer to do my work with pain and I was unhappy because of this! I found a job working for the town I lived in it was 20 hours a week and did not require much hand work! I saw so many people that I have not seen in years! I love this job! What more can anyone ask for, I help people that are older than I, talk to many and find out what is going on in my town!!!
So happy for you!
I have worked since my retirement over 20 years ago but I had to retire again to be a
caretaker for my wife who has many health problems. My purpose has become taking care of her
and it is a full time job so I have no plans to go back to work until my situation changes. I
would love to find something to fill in the gaps but I have to work from home to do it.
This was a great article, I retired in 2023 and found a job working at an elementary school in the cafeteria, it’s a great job 20-25 hours a week, 10 minutes from home 9:30 -1:30 summers off weekends off and summers and holidays off all while earning a small paycheck but also getting health benefits. What could be better?
What about “voice-overs”?
Can a retired person with many voices & accents get into that?
