    My mom is retiring. She'll get bored. What are some low stress, part-time jobs that don't require many skills? She can speak Spanish.

    In all seriousness, she should work at Enterprise Rent A Car as a driver. All you do is pick people up and drop them off.

    Lulzy answers. Sometimes school crossing guards die. And kids are dicks these days, so no. Is Dillards fun to older folk? Seems boring as hell to me.

    I'm telling you work from home with amazon and their mechanical turk might be way to go. It's true work from home.

    I wonder if there is some IT type stuff she could do from jobs on scriptlance odesk etc.

    I tried that mechanical turk stuff for a couple days. Boring as hell. Repetitive tasks that average out to like 50 cents an hour.

    As a retirement job, she should do something that interests her if possible, like a hobby.

    Ross Dress for Less? Kohl's? Stein Mart? Work as an aide in an elementary school? I dunno. Why not just travel and volunteer in her spare time instead of getting back into the workplace? She retired for a reason, I'm guessing.
