An usual job opportunity has become available for pensioners who want to try living like a teenager.
The "retirement tester" job will be offering £500 to a retired applicant to reveal which popular hobbies associated with the youth of today can be enjoyed in retirement too.
The successful applicant will be expected to try out TikTok, post pictures of their meals to Instagram, play video games, vlog and watch binge-worthy Netflix series such as You, Squid Game or Bridgerton.

Inspired by the fact that pensioners are stereotypically thought to enjoy hobbies such as bowls, knitting or putting together a jigsaw puzzle, the new role is seeking to discover whether pastimes enjoyed by the youth of today could also suit those of an older age.
Money.co.uk are the company providing the position and they will also be providing the applicant with a free games console and a free one month subscription to Netflix to complete the duties of the role.
James Andrews, Personal Finance Expert at money.co.uk said: "A New Year can signal a time many of us look to take up a new hobby or learn a new skill, but stereotypes have seemed to stay the same for what people of pensioner age can and can’t enjoy.
"With this new role, we want to show that those stereotypes no longer apply and that you’re only as old as you feel. Whether it’s creating a TikTok account or diving into the latest video games, we hope we provide some inspiration for pastimes pensioners could pick up in 2022, and look forward to finding our CE-OAP to rank these hobbies from best to worst."
Applications for the role are currently open, but will close at 11.59pm on Friday January 7, 2022.
