Golf course
I’m interested in a full-time job, was downscaled by my current company to part-time but I can not retire.
Your handle sounds like you’re a developer – what if you just freelance?
The US has become a service industry for the most part. You’re going to have to interact with people. The sooner you accept it, the better. Especially if you are limited in how much you can earn. Try being a weekend security guard. Also, 2nd or 3rd shift laundromat attendant. Lastly, parking lot attendant. Even with any of those, you have to interact with people, but hopefully less.
May it be well with you.
You can ask if local houses of worship or small businesses need help with administrative or clerical work. When I was a kid, I helped stuff envelopes with elderly congregants. You don’t even need to be religious–just willing to help out.
As someone else said, golf course. Starter or ranger.
Starter just greets golfers on the first hole and takes their receipt (public course) explains pace of play and any rules (like cart path only on the 12th hole)
Ranger rides around in a golf cart and tells people who are slow to move it along. Crotchety old man but with power (you could kick a group off if they are exceedingly slow) and doing good work (slow golfers suck, just hit the goddamn ball)
Park district, guest service at a stadium, golf course, or museum. I’m in my late 20s and have worked at three of them, and we always had semi retired part time staff at each. Coaching a high school sport is also a big one.
Courthouse work.
If you live near a local college, get a job cutting grass/landscaping there.
You won’t have to deal with the public and you can just cut grass.
Usually they have half day Fridays.
Late fifties these days is the new 40 with still many, many decades to go in life.
I’m nearing 60 and feels like I’m still in my prime of my career earning $13.5K/month. No such thoughts of retirement and enjoying life, maintaining a sharp mind and keeping fit.
Vehicle Driver at Enterprise…move cars to different locations all day
My dad is a retired mechanic. He was working for Ace hardware in his retirement assembling BBQs and dropping them off at the customer’s house and picking up their old one and taking it to the dump. A lot of times there was very little wrong with the old one and he’d fix that up and give it to one of us. He could make his own hours pretty much and we all got nice BBQs and treagers.
Night watchman/woman type security guard
Not quite on point, but if trying not to affect social security is your goal I think continuing to work is still a good idea. Funds withheld pursuant to the Earnings Test are disbursed to you (over time) once you start to claim at or after full retirement age. Moreover maintaining a job to delay filing for ss benefits can allow you to accrue delayed retirement credits, further increasing your benefit. Just my two cents.
