I'm actually shocked that he can't earn better as an educator of some sort. Seems like a great way to spend your like is 1/3 of it learning, 1/3 of it applying what you've learned and learning more from experience and 1/3 of your life sharing what you've learned with those living the first 2/3's of their lives. If you were successful during the first 2/3's of your live, then teaching or sharing your success with others should be possible.
That's the route that my dad took, but it wasn't planned and he wasn't even aware to seek it out. He was a two-time CEO, and one of the companies he founded and took it to a moderate exit. However after he left the last company, he moved back home to Brazil, where he encountered ageism over and over again. Companies and recruiters basically told him "Look, you're the perfect candidate. Every company looking to compete internationally would love to have someone like you. However they want someone who has your experience but is 40 to at most 50 years old. My dad is 66. After struggling for a while and burning through a lot of his savings being told no over and over again because of his age, a friend of his put him in touch with Instituto Dom Cabral, probably Brazil's best business school, where he easily got a job as a professor doing managerial consulting advice to companies that pay for access to its professors.
