Realistically,
Why would someone hire you at age 65, there are a lot of competition for those low skill jobs, even from other retired folks.
At best you will earn minimum wage and be employed about 20 hrs/wk, so you are looking at earning 9K/yr if you are lucky.
Usually better to work OMY but live like you are earning $8/hr, then retire.
I dunno about that, I know around here many seniors get retail low wage jobs easily. employees love them because they are reliable, don't call out on weekend nights, are very polite (no offense teenagers but how about a "thank you") and are very flexible.
I know a number of early retirees that have simple jobs.
my sis retired as a NYC detective, ridiculously high stress, works P/t at Macy's. loves it!! No stress, no mess. The most crap she gets is from obnoxious customer, which after 20 years as a cop, she shuts them down easily. uses her salary as her Atlantic City gambling money and it gives her something to do
a good friend of mine, actual college roomie is a retired workmen comp attorney. Retired at 54, now works at planet fitness gym. loves it. scans members in, hands out towels. gets free gym use, lol and a few bucks. Has zero interest in do consulting, p/t or any other "practicing law" work.
My old tax accountant retired, life guards at the Jersey shore during summer season. Again, absolutely no desire to do ANY cpa work just wants to, as he says "be a beach bum"
now me, after 25+ years of the office politics BS, soul sucking popularity contest that my mega corp put me through, if I ever get another "job" it will totally be a mindless, drone, have a nice day gig. I agree though, if I'm going to go back to work itvwould definitely be before 65.
