"I See Old People" Taking Over The Service Job Economy

[JNelson6563]

3. I've got news for you.

I have been pretty shocked to learn how many people work who do not have to. For many it is something to do. I work with several people like this. Some have a lot of money actually. One lady I know owns between 20-25 properties they (she and hubby) rent out (she forgets how any exactly) but boy does she get pissed if someone hired after her gets any more hours than her!

There are also people not of retirement age who hold jobs they don't need. Several co-workers who have spouses with good-paying jobs hold two jobs. One full-time and a part-time elsewhere. They don't need the money but they are well trained, thoroughly conditioned consumers. Frankly it annoys me because there are so many out there that desperately *need* a job.

I know a lot of seniors take jobs that wouldn't if they didn't have to and that is horrible. I'm just saying don't be too certain of the situation when you see an older person working a job.
