The perfect retirement job probably varies quite a bit between individuals. Pursing a passion or interest ranks high on some retirees list, but continuing and leveraging professional growth in a career from a 'pre-retirement' industry may weigh higher for others. In any case, best of luck with your journey and your search for the perfect retirement job.
Retirement jobs are sometimes for those who have not yet recovered from their long years of working in a corporate company. It would be better to look for a hobby instead or try things you've never tried before to occupy your time.
