For years now, a lot of people are "retired" against their desire. Now, they seldom get the package but get a pink slip. Re-entering the work force at even early retirement age is a joke.

Older boomers and those before them know how to show up, show on time, not do personal activities or personal business on company time, and so on.

But friggin corporate America wants young blood in the cubicles. I watched and helped my wife go thru college to a successful degree over a many year process that began in '95. I'll tell you that anyone who has graduated with a degree in the last ten years knows nothing compared to an older education and lots of years experience on the job.

One wonders why we are where we are today and I'm not talking necessarily about the economy. When the economy comes back, we'll still have the idiots that can't do 8 hours work in 12 sitting at the desks and some younger ones greener yet.

Meanwhile, grampa will be guarding the door.

No, don't retire. All the doors will close behind you.
