Some jobs that seniors hold are light, easy and part time jobs such as school cafeteria worker, grocery workers, department store greeters, etc.
You need to know what kind of job you are able to do in your position and you need to know that you can commit to it and that it is okay for you health-wise to be performing those duties. You should ask your doctor if you have any concerns regarding whether or not it is okay for you to perform a certain task. Otherwise, you should enjoy doing whatever it is you feel like doing.
