Doesn't he have a day job?

Yes, he works for Bain Capital. Bain Capital is a vulture capital firm that buys distressed assets at a severe discount, and sells off pieces in order to make a profit. If rumors are true, then this is a scheme was dreamed up at his day job.

Bain Capital is supposedly heavily invested in Puerto Rican bonds. If Puerto Rico continues to default, Bain Capital will lose a lot of money.

Romney's friend and running mate Paul Ryan has come to the rescue (of Romney) and wrote a Puerto Rican bailout package, which will take taxpayer money and payoff the Puerto Rican debt. Bain Capital will get their investment back from the taxpayers.

Trump has publically stated that he doesn't support a bailout.

Hillary would sign a bailout in a heartbeat in order to "save" Puerto Ricans from heartless republicans who want them to starve to death. So, by entering the race and hopefully taking votes away from Trump, Romney can swing the race to Hillary, get a bailout package passed, and make a lot of money for Bain Capital.

Romney left Bain in 2002. They were buying out his management stake over the next decade, but he may not have any connection with the firm now.

If you've eaten at Dunkin' Donuts or Burger King or Domino's or shopped at Staples, Brookstone, or Burlington Coat Factory some time in this century, then you may have done business with Bain.

So no, Mitt Romney doesn't have a real job now and has a lot of time on his hands. This whole thing sounds like a "Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight" caper, more gossip, speculation, and hot air than anything else.
