Many retirees take the job because they don’t need the money! The employers get the work done for peanuts.

Hey Granny, get out of the way and give a kid a chance.

My old employer could kiss my ass and I still wouldn’t return. If they did a better job respecting their employees rather than treat them like a number perhaps more can be arranged/worked out. In the meantime I’m refurbishing a classic victorian whose value goes up even if I do nothing to it. I’m not exactly a skilled craftsman but I’m sure having a lot of fun. The untapped potential of retirees would do our economy good especially when you look at the poor schools out there that teach nothing valuable. To each his own I guess.

I retired from teaching six years ago. I still go back to my old school to sub, because I enjoy it. I do realize that a lot of people are subbing with the hope of scoring a full-time job and that they do represent the school’s future. But I still sub and if a kid can do a better job of it than I, then he or she will get the sub jobs.

I retired and went to work as a consultant. I don’t work for peanuts and the “kids” can’t even compose a decent business letter or proposal.
