Retirement-Projects
When we retire, we often need some interest that is exciting, and/or fun. This Retirement-Projects is needed to replace that occupation that we had during our working years. You can volunteer to help with many activities, such as hospitals, church, and other volunteer activities. But you gotta have some fun!
In this section, I will be listing some ideas of things that can be rally fun and interesting!
Couple's Radio Flyer turns heads on streets!
Another cool hobby! Retiree creates this eye catcher. Being retired gives you time to do stuff like this!
Super-Cool Basement!
This is one ambitious project! Enjoy!
Indulge yourself at a college
Take some classes, whether for credit, or not. Remember those classes you wanted to take but couldn’t because you were in hurry to complete your major? Retirement is the time to take those classes. Splurge, take an intro to painting, or drawing class. Get a good paint set, start a collection of art pencils and sketch or paint away. In fact, take your paints, sketch book and supplies with you when you travel. A high-resolution digital camera is also a must. But free yourself from technical excellence and get with the groove. Go ahead and sketch people at Shakespeare and Company in Paris.
College Information for Senior Citizens & Adults
This website gives some good info.
Nonprofit Jobs for Retirees-from AARP
Some pretty good ideas, will require some follow-up, on your part. I think, the most productive part of this, is the "networking that you do, when working with faculty, and the other students". In the past, when I've worked with volunteers, I learn so much that really wasn't what I was seeking, but darn good ideas, or leads.

Tuition Waivers for Seniors
I read some articles about tuition waivers for seniors, but they were dated 2008 and 2009. So I researched to learn more. Not much info out there! I guess that the colleges are not advertising this much! For the colleges, it means no revenue, but some cost. Why advertise?
So I researched my state (Virginia) and found that programs are still there! I found it for VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University), and also found it for North Carolina in Asheville.
I need you help! If you find anything about your state, please drop me a note, so I can add it to my website! Info about free tuition for Seniors
