Highest Paying Jobs for Retirees Looking to Make Extra Money

Retirement no longer means spending your days playing bridge or golf. Many of today’s retirees are back in the workforce, often forced to take part-time positions to help make ends meet. If you are considering going back to work, here’s the list of the highest-paying opportunities for seniors, according to Yahoo! Finance.

If you loved what you did during your professional career, consider extending those skills by becoming a freelance consultant, paralegal, community college instructor, librarian, nutritionist, or executive administrative assistant.  

Another option is to turn your hobbies into a money-making venture, launching a new career as a personal chef, group fitness instructor, or virtual travel agent. The highest paying job is that of a real estate agent, where you could make $42.20 per hour.

The Seniors Trust is committed to improving the financial well-being of America’s retirees through the passage of The Social Security Expansion Act. It will give retirees an immediate benefits increase of about $200 a month, a fair annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA), and increased minimum benefits.
