Seniors ideas please, how can a person make --?

Could you work in student loans again? Our daughter has done that for many schools, going up in pay
and fringe benefits. She lost her last job when they went under. It was for a bank and student loans, and
she had a free company car for traveling and an expense account. Now she's with a community college.
And doesn't have the benefits and has a salary that is half the amount in pay as her last job. She had to
pay bills and keep the house payment paid. So she couldn't afford to be choosey.
Why not look into being a school bus driver. You'd have lots of hours in between shuttling students. Or
you could find work as a teachers' assistant. If you have another language under your belt, you could
work as a translater or teaching a language class for immigrants. I have a friend, who went to school
during the summer to further her knowledge of Spanish.This upped her salary when she went back in
the fall to teach. Anything to further educate yourself, will result in being more hireable. If you can't stand
for long, you'll need a sit down job. And there are not alot of jobs that allow that.
Have you looked into working for an insurance agency and making traffic accidents a specialty. Taking
pictures of the wrecked cars and determining who's liable for the accident. Then paying or denying the
claim filed. It works something like that. I know it's not easy finding work with all of the competition now.
Maybe you can think of adding some further education to make yourself more hireable. To make you
stand out for the job you're applying for. I wish you luck in your search.
