At the age of 69 I was hired for a consulting gig. Not a lot of hours, but I was paid $2k per day for a couple of days per month.

Sure if you happen to have an extremely important skill that is in short supply. Did they offer you a permanent job?

...Did they offer you a permanent job?

No. I didn't want a permanent job, and none was offered.

I had been retired for several years, and didn't want more than an interesting way to spend a few days a month in a technical field.

Sure if you happen to have an extremely important skill that is in short supply.

My point exactly. If a 53 year old guy can get good at programming assembly robots he will have work. If he is just going to punch the clock and do an average job, younger guys will eat his lunch.
