retired

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This clue might be a double definition.

'out of a job' is the first definition.
'retired' can be an answer for 'out' (thesaurus). I'm not sure about the 'of a job' bit.

'old?' is the second definition.
('retired' can be similar in meaning to 'old')

'being' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for retired that I've seen before include "In bed, withdrew" , "No longer active in work or profession" , "Gone to bed" , "out of office?" , "Left" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
