(25,895 posts)but I was hired several times after age 60. Six times, to be specific. Although I was also fired twice, the only times I've ever been fired in my life.
And I actually turned down a job at age 66 because their idea of part time was 30 hours a week, and I wanted only 20. The woman would have hired me on the spot had I been willing. She later called me up and had me work a week as a fill-in person.
Without knowing anything about your job history I certainly can't offer specific advice, but a person really can get hired at an older age.
And, even if it's only entry level and just barely above minimum wage (although I hope you can do better than that) you'll be vastly better off continuing to work and not collecting Social Security until at least age 66, maybe longer.
