I got an elder retired friend from UK who trading forex online from home, and he enjoy that job very much but of course this is a HIGH RISK business that takes time to learn and practise! if your parents interested, maybe they should try free demo trading with InterbankFX (USA broker).. once again, this is a high risk business, but people who know to do it will love this one very much

They could try ODesk its full of people looking to work from home and theirs tons of jobs on the site. I'm not sure what they would be qualified for but you could check it out for them.http://www.odesk.com/console/referrals/track/mbigras

I would be careful if I were you. There are a lot of scams out there, particularly for seniors. I suggest that you have them visit the site www.AARP.org. This is the American Association of Retired People, and they have honest and accurate information relating to anyone over the age of 50. They do have employment advice, as well as a number of topics related to aging. I think it's best to check out reputable sites and not follow stuff like infomercials and online scams. The best advice for anyone who is just trying to make some extra cash is to follow their interests, whether that's model trains, knitting, or the stock market. What you already know and like is the best source of finding some supplemental income. You just need to get creative in your thinking. Don't fall for the "stuffing envelopes" type of schemes.

Asking a question like that is guaranteed to get you answers mostly from people who are out to make money out of other people's gullibiity. There are no jobs speifically for seniors. If either of your parents have any skills that are valuable on the internet, like writing, there are legitimate ways to make money. Just don't let them fall for anything that requires them to pay a registration fee or any other fees. Legitimate companies don't ask for fees. Some freelance writing sites do require fees, but they provide sources of real work.
