I am in the process of retiring from my career, "SPARKY" or Electrician. I was employed in a small local in Indiana for 34 years. I drive all over the western half of this state and I have logged at least...
ONE MILLION KILOMETERS
or over 600,000 miles, in my estimation. 20,000 miles a year average for 30+ years! I'm tired of driving, or driving for no pay. If I have to put on miles I want it to be "on the clock" but BETTER YET, I am looking at
Work From Home
I have not even started researching this, my son had a roommate that worked for Sikes or Sykes and they did Turbo Tax online support over the phone. They also offer other support, inbound Customer Service. Pay is "meh" but in the process I am not leaving the house at all and I can do some minor multi-tasking at the same time... maybe. At least when I am not working, or taking a break, I can cruise Steem or do Faucets or anything else. Plus live LIFE offline LOL 😎 I used to drive sometimes up to 3 hours a day, a few times more! One particularly horrid trip was well over 2 hours ONE WAY and we were scheduled 10 hours, of course 😜 Plus an unpaid lunch in the middle... 16 hour days, 6 days a week for 3-4 months will make you OLD, FAST. My buddy who I was riding with is dead, in fact. I've had enough of that excessive driving, work a physical job for 10+ hours then a long drive back. 🙄
So I'd like suggestions, preferably links etc. or company names I can look up. I have seen the $11 an hour range of jobs but of course, more money is better and I'd start with those. I can easily do it on the pay scale they are offering, since I have the pension starting up next month. Gas and Time Savings alone are huge, I will be doing some trading with my extra time, prolly Stocks and Precious Metals. I rolled over the 401A account now I have complete control over that. 😁
I thought maybe in this pic "dood" had a wild (hair) "DO" but it's a shadow LOL

Links are great, but be sure to throw out any advice from your own personal experiences. That is the real GOLD I am after here, someone who has done it will have a real
Congrats on the retirement! Were you IBEW?

I'm a UA apprentice. The whole reason I joined the union is I'd like to retire one day. You're living my dream right now my friend! Enjoy it! You've earned it.

The only good money I made after early retirement was advicing and helping my newly hired successors during three months. Could you be a helpdesk for the young electricians maybe?

The curse of knowledge. You may know things that you think other people know because it's common sense to you, but many people may not know the things you know, especially in your field.
Make youtube/dtube videos about your field and general knowledge, and earn money through the youtube ads + look up relevant affiliate offers to your field (on sites like clickbank.com) and put those links below your videos + amazon ebooks related to your field which you can put under your videos and earn a commission when someone buys that ebook.

I worked about 1.5 years from home. It was the best since I am a father of 2. Sweet spot is to find work you love that can be done from home. Built in work life balance.
