+1.  I would think about any kind of work (paid or volunteering) as a means to an end.  For example, maybe you feel lonely and want to interact with people more so many volunteer or work in an environment where you meet people but in a setting where they are happy (maybe volunteer at a winery).  Or maybe you need physical activity so you could work or volunteer in some capacity that requires physical activity (my dad used to volunteer to do grounds work at this historic place near him).  Or maybe you want to keep yourself mentally sharp so you work or volunteer in a problem-solving capacity.  I think this one is going to be harder as a volunteer unless you are something like an attorney that can do pro bono work.

In any event, if I were you would only work/volunteer part time.  Working full time sucks because you're on a schedule all day plus doing kid stuff at night so if you don't have to I wouldn't do it...I know I wouldn't.[/quote]
