Job idea - parking cars
Have you wanted to drive a Porsche or BMW? a Corvette or Hummer? Maybe you can't afford your own, but perhaps you can get a chance to drive one! In The Employment Guide in Los Angeles, I saw an ad for parking attendants and valets. In CA, at least, so many restaurants, events, parking garages, hotels, and shopping centers offer valet parking for those in a hurry.
My guess is there is a lot of turnover for the lower do-it positions. If you plan to be in a metropolitan area for a few months or a season, you'd have a good chance of being hired even if you'll only be available for a few months. Valets make decent tips in addition to an hourly wage. You do need a clean DMV record and a driver's license from the state you'll be working in. The free employment newspapers could have ads. Or look up parking garages and find out the contact information for hiring. And you could check at shopping centers and hotels or even an airport. Another possibility - plus you might get to drive some pretty awesome cars! Jaimie Hall Bruzenak

Being a valet is a great job for a someone who is physically fit, but the pounding on the knees and hips from running back and forth all day is tough.
However, I'm always looking for retired folks to work as cashiers, greets and auditors in parking lots and garages. Retired folks have a great work ethic and demeanor.
If you're a little older and worried if you can still compete in the job market, don't fret!
There are plenty of part or full time jobs for older workcampers. But employment laws prohibit us from advertising for retired folks, so don't fret, apply! Employers who appreciate older workers will snap you up quickly!
