He really expected to find another job at 62? Doesn't he know that most employers are NOT going to hire a 62 year old man or 59 year old woman for that matter. Most employers don't like to hire anyone over 50 unless they are CEO's. There is a real prejudice in the work force when it comes to hiring older people.

Yep. I see old guys, 60's, 70's retrieving grocery carts from the parking lot. I used to think "some old con... spent years in the joint and this all he can get". Talk to one of these guys. You'd be surprised at their qualifications, credentials and experience. Yeah, they saved and invested. Yeah, they're broke. Yeah, this is all they can get.

In the meantime, what you said makes no sense.

How can employers not hire anyone over 50, if we cant get social security until we are 66, 67 or so?

Isnt there a 17 year gap in what you say?

As far as CEo's, all ceos, politicians, doctors, etc, should all be made to retire at the same age as anybody else. If 65 is a forced retire ment age, then it is a forced retirement age for the worker AND the ceo.
