I’m 60 and have no desire to retire, but the trick is finding an employer who will hire me at my age.

I tried to do everything right. I have no debts. I’ve been a conservative all my life. Not all boomers were hippies.

I was laid of at 57 (along with 1500 others over the age of 50) and I had a hell of a time getting another job. I finally managed to get a job with a temp agency and work my way up, competing with younger workers who, to be fair, offer no competition.

I imagine the cause is that I’m just a lazy Southern Hippie that doesn’t want to work.
