A 2008 AARP survey of older workers found that 88% want a friendly work environment in their next position, and 74% want\u00a0a flexible schedule. A total of 38% say they\u2019re looking for part-time work, while 34% would like to work from home.<\/p>\n<p>Plenty of online resources exist to help seniors find jobs like these. In addition to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.retiredbrains.com\/default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Retired Brains<\/a>, the resources include\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.retirementjobs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Retirement Jobs<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.seniorjobbank.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Senior Job Bank<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.primecb.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">PrimeCB<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/retireeworkforce.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Retiree Workforce<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/seniors4hire.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Seniors4Hire<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To provide a snapshot of the best jobs out there for older adults, we turned to the work of Kerry Hannon, AARP\u2019s jobs expert. Her 2012 book &#8220;Great Jobs for Everyone 50+&#8221; groups the best positions for seniors into 10 categories. The jobs she identified fit seniors\u2019 needs because they tend to be more professional (research shows seniors tend to hold more professional jobs), generally don\u2019t require long hours and offer flexible schedules. Click ahead for a look at the top-paying jobs across all 10 categories. The pay scales are based on data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, though Hannon notes that pay can vary widely based on location, experience and employer.<\/p>\n<p><em>Continue the full article <a href=\"http:\/\/money.msn.com\/retirement\/10-best-jobs-for-seniors\">here<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>By\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefiscaltimes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Steve Yoder<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - http:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-small.png?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Digg\",\"Reddit\",\"Bebo\",\"Delicious\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"small\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Kerry&#039;s Tips on MSN Money: 10 Best Jobs for Seniors\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working in your golden years Most people who continue working after retirement age don\u2019t stay on in their current jobs, according to Boston College\u2019s Sloan Center on Aging &amp; Work.
