4. Try To Figure Out What Kind of Job You Want and Why

This is very important if you really want to find the perfect side job for yourself. There are countless motivating stories of seniors completely reinventing themselves. If you’ve always worked in public administration, there’s absolutely no reason why you have to stay in this field.
At this point in your life, you’re more than you ever have been, and you have to take advantage of that. Make sure you’re hunting for the job you really want.

Do you want to be your own boss? Are you looking for a part-time or full-time job? Do you require benefits? Is salary the most important factor? What do you want to be doing?

These are questions you really should pay attention to. Even if you’re looking for a side job because your retirement income is low, you should choose one to your liking.
