Career (job) change @ 50

I have been a pharmacist for 12 years and have tried it in its various incarnations and I just don't want to do it full-time anywhere, anyhow, anymore! I need to work for a little money (and health insurance, mainly)and would be willing to work as a pharmacist on a (very) part-time basis (i.e. one weekend a month!). Trouble is, in applying for clerical, data entry-type positions, "pharmacist" is still on my resume and interviewers cannot understand why I would accept a position that pays so much less. I don't think Americans can accept the idea that more money does not equate to peace of mind. I've had no problem getting a part-time pharmacy position (although they really try to talk me into working more hours than I want to.)
So, my question is: How do I get a nice little clerical full time job with insurance in light of my career history?
