I am going to list a few opportunities that are waiting for you to walk in and lend a hand. You will find my first recommendations below. Look for more next week, Maybe one or two will hit your hot button and lead you to a satisfying use of your retirement time.

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.
