From Finance.yahoo.com, an article that originally comes
from the MarketWatch website titled
"6 Best Part-Time Jobs for Retirees":
|Adjunct professor
|
|There are more jobs than ever for non-tenure track, or
|adjunct, professors. In 1969, just 21.7% of college faculty
|were adjuncts; now more than two-thirds are -- and you
|don't always need a Ph.D. to get these positions. In fact,
|retirees' decades of workplace experience can lend itself
|well to the position of adjunct professor. While the pay for
|these jobs is mediocre (the median, per-course pay
|for part-time faculty is just $2,700, according to a study
|by the Coalition on the Academic Workforce), Lauren Griffin,
|a senior vice president with Adecco Staffing, notes that
|many retirees will find this kind of work rewarding. Plus, the
|hours you're required to be on campus are typically few,
|and once you've taught a course once or twice, your workload
|will decrease as you don't have to spend quite as much
|time developing the materials. To get this job, look at the
|career section of the websites of universities in your area;
|now that online education is becoming much more popular,
|you may also want to explore that avenue.

Who knew you could make that phat cash so easily! I guess
there's nothing to teaching and interacting with students (and
your colleagues and the administration and ....) that one's
life experience hasn't prepared on for.
Oh, retirees don't need those expensive benefits! For example,
quoting from the article:
|And because retirees often don't need health care thanks to
|Medicare, part-time and project-based jobs, which don't tend
|to have health benefits associated with them, have an appeal
|to this group that they won't for many other groups.
And since they're retired, schools don't have to kick in for
retirement plans! It's a Win-Win all around! ;-)
Run for the shadows in these golden years.
