This article, "Going Mobile," is about older workers who have found jobs driving charter buses. According to the article, "The bus industry has no official age limit for drivers, and jobs are plentiful." 

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who's done this!

No experience in this. Just agreeing that based on what I've read and heard, there is opportunity for some pretty steady part time work here. Ditto on school bus drivers, at least in more urban areas. They are always hiring.

   The trick here, to me, is to find a place that will train you and let you get a CDL license on their dime rather than yours.
