My dad is in Sales, and it's way too high stress for him now (he is 65). He has no idea what else he can do at his age to earn a decent wage and utilize his skills. He is a people person, dynamic big personality, smart too--he is just tired of high pressure quota sales...

It sounds like it's time for your Dad to go into business for himself. My Dad is 71, and has joined me in a home business marketing a health and wellness product. Because he is very personable and has experienced very positive results from the product, he is having no problem marketing it. No high pressure sales or quotas to meet. He works at his own pace and has fun because he gets to get out there and see people. Our largest market is the baby boomers up, everyone knows people with health issues, so Dad just tells them his story. He now earns more than he ever did in the regular jobs he had and is having a ball!
He got started for less than $200 USD.

He could explore selling items on Ebay. Mayber he has a collecting hobby or whatever. Ebay is the best thing I ever did.
