Pay typically ranges from $17 to $25 per hour, often supplemented by daily tips from enthusiastic tourists.

If you enjoy sharing history, interacting with diverse public groups, and staying active outdoors during crisp autumn days, tour guiding delivers a satisfying blend of physical movement, mental stimulation, and steady pay.

  2. There are a few things in schools for us to do. Be a school bus monitor for the special needs kids. You get paid for 3 hours but you only are on the bus for about an hour and half. You only job is to watch the kids. Average pay 15 to 20 bucks an hour. Paraprofessional is another thing you can do with a special education kids where you help them with their class work and be their aid for the school. It’s about 30,000.a year.

  3. Why aren’t the jobs listed? Why are there countless Ads and No jobs listed?
    All I want to see are these supposed jobs for retired seniors.

  4. I would like to work one more year. I am currently working as a Special Education teacher in an out placement school in the Hartford area.
