I may be retiring early from my state of CT job considering how the economy here is. I'll be 63 in a few months and if I retire at that age I want to work at least 2 more years before collecting SS. I was thinking of security guard. Something low stress where you show up for a few hours then go home. Years ago I worked at Home Depot and that was OK too. Any other suggestions?
Depending on your state, you may have to have a DPSST license. It's just basically a fingerprint/photo and lessons you have to take and then that's it. But finding a PT job will "Usually" be at night...
You might try Walmart, HD, Lowe's for a PT job. (P.S. Don't work deli, it sucks...trust me!)
You're in the same situation I was- state employment for 30 years with a reasonable pension. I transferred my government skills to a part time job in municipal government. I had lots of control over what I did and when. This was pocket money mostly-- I had benefits with my pension. My wife did much the same thing. City governments have projects they can't get around to doing or completing and are happy to get an experienced reliable worker. It was interesting work. They also have seasonal employment opportunities.
I did not want the usual sort of part time job. I did find a seasonal job where I worked 6 months and then went and played for 6 months. It worked great.
I never found driving a school bus stressful, even in NYC. But that's not relevant as the OP is in Connecticut, not New York.
