I am retired and enjoying subbing part time. Wondering if there are any others that have finally found their dream job in retirement.

Not sure it’s a dream job, but I’m long-term subbing in a former school. The schedule has changed, so sometimes I’m seeing about 450 students per day in sixteen 20-minute classes (general music). I did this when I was 29, but that was well over thirty years ago. Not as easy now.
I look forward to going to regular subbing a couple of days a week.

Any tips on staying motivated to get the work done, or on seeking out new opportunities for growth, when you feel like you’ve plateaued?
