20 Jobs for Retired Teachers

Tweet When I retired, everyone asked me what I was going to do with all my free time. My first response was that I was going to clean 32 years of school clutter out of my home. I figured that would take a long time, and it has. I'm still not done with that. My second response was "anything I want."

Today, I was thinking about jobs for retired teachers. Here is a list of what some of the retired teachers I know are doing:

1. Figuring income taxes

2. Tutoring

3. Substituting

4. Working for the local private school

5. Professional gardening

6. Helping home-schoolers

7. Painting, cleaning, construction

8. Helping at the local community college

9. Teaching in a bordering state

10. Artistic painting

11. Participating in community theater

12. Writing books/poetry/blogs

13. Administering AP exams

14. Checking GED exams

15. Delivering pizza, flowers

16. Sacking groceries

17. Volunteering at a hospital/care center/day care

18. Running a Bed & Breakfast

19. School Board member

20. City Council member

So if you're retired and would like a job to fill your time, you might want to try one of these. Some will earn you a little extra cash and some are strictly volunteer, but all will fill up that free time for you.
