In Reply to: When I was that age, I was flat on my ass broke. posted by ghost of olddude55 on July 17, 2021 at 07:50:22:
In retirement I met a young man at my part time job with a wonderful wife and two kids. He was barely scraping by; the kids healthcare was only by the grace of Medicaid.
He was a clever fellow though, always solving problems and remaining cheerful. One day he came to me and an also retired part-timer and talked about the railroad hiring and what did we think. We thought he should interview and sit for the exam and loaned him the money to travel back and forth to the capital.
He was hired. Now he's a union member with incredible benefits and a stable future.
We don't hear many stories like that because they "don't sell newspapers" but every now and then there's a reference to jobs going unfilled, especially in IT and HR. Instead, we get a daily diet of how it's a shame that highly educated, risk taking CEO's make an average of 1,000 times the pay of their uneducated, unmotivated cashiers and box fillers.
