You TELL it Livin, Tx.! Funny, they talk about raising the retirement age, but then continue to push the agenda that, education beats common sense. Remember when something was broke? You fixed it. Today they reason, use logic, rationalize, and do the educated math. Look where we are. How's that working out for them? If I want to know about the twenties, I'd rather ask someone who was there, then some history teacher who only read about it. But science is the new "Creation", as though they know more because they can do math, or reason, or apply logic. Some things defy logic. But I guess mathematically, or scientifically, that wouldn't add up now would it? Education and intilligence are not always neccessarily relative are they? Oh yeah - times, they are a changin. geez.

I fully agree with the comments made.I am now 67 and worked for the same company in sales for seven years. my contract was extended at 65. now though I am to old. I am still the same person I was six months ago ,with the same drive and want to continue working. for the last month of my contract ,I spent training a younger person for a job i still wanted and knew that I could do. Age is a frame of mind, it should not be a barrier for working. Experience is priceless.

The facts are out ther but strung about like pieces of a 1000000 piece puzzle and just too damned hard to put together. Inconclusive, speculative, can almost touch it but nebulous because employers want it that way. Hard to prove and it takes tons of time. Then you get known around the community as a wise ass senior citizen. Scre em! If they can't see the forest for the trees that older workers are a valuable asset primarily because most of them have what many younger workers do not. Common sense and a work ethic. For five years I watched as younger employees than myself with less education and lousier work ethics and 3 wore skirts had good looks but couldn't handle the job and nevertheless were selected over me. Why I asked myself and an insider who did administrative work for the selection board. You were deemed too old and would likely be sick all the time. Interesting because I was only 53 at the time and hadn't used a sick day in over 8 years. So I was too old and sickly, but prove it in a legal battle and probably at my friends job loss! So I stuck around and did the best I could until I was hired on as an adjunct professor where I could use my education, 40 years of experience and be respected by my peers and recognized by my employer as an asset to their staff. The former job was in Civil Service the new job was in a local community 2 year college/university system. I just recently retired from there because I was financially capable and wanted to start drawing my social security benefits before the progressive nut bags in DC drained it to pad their salaries with.
