My first real job was at 15, washing dishes at the Watertown, South Dakota Country Club for $1.60 an hour. I was never unemployed after that, at least not for long. I am sharing the link for this blog because I think it is time to acknowledge what is happening to people my age. I am too young to retire and too old to be hired. And I am not alone, as you can see from the stories on this blog. No one is asking for sympathy, we just want to rejoin the society we thought we helped to build.
