I was thinking private sector, this sounds even better.

I don't see that analogy. Jobs and money are more fixed than air lol.

Is this about forcing Saban into retirement? If so, I am 100% behind it.

My dad is 62 and his health has recently gone downhill. He didn't feel like relocating with his old job so he quit. Now i just find out he was offered a new job today despite being barely able to drive himself around. Him and the other 65 yr olds need to retire, go sit on the beach, and let their children run this country.


Mines 64 & is still swole & jogs. You tell him he can't work. Retired @ 61 & now picks and chooses the consulting jobs he feels like taking at about $30-35k/mth. Sorry your dad's a sickly fat frick though

It's called a joke. Just because jobs are fixed doesn't mean younger people deserve it any more than older people unless they can show it through performance.

I bet it you asked every single person who is over 65 and still working they would tell you they are working for health insurance. It's a crying shame people in this country have to work until 67 or so because private insurance plans are so much.

That generation doesn't really know anything but working. That's why they hang around so long.

For my dad's last 10 years (60-69) at his last insurance job he annually underwrote more business than the other 4 underwriters combined. Think it all depends on the individual.

My wife's office manager is in her late seventies and just won't retire. She is in bad health and should just enjoy life while she can. But Instead she constantly messes things up and nods off at her desk. 2 weeks in a row she completely forgot to do payroll. Had thirty employees not get their check direct deposited when they expected them to.

My grandfather retired from the company at 70. That lasted 3 months then he became a substitute teacher despite zero experience outside coaching little league in the 70's. Hes been doing it full time the last 5 years. Cannot keep that man at home with grandma.

If you're not rich then you should work. It's selfish not to work.

A better question is why would anyone above 65 wants to work? In my observation most of them that have at least a high school degree have a $90,000 Bus RV that is towing 2 Harleys.

I know you're joking, but seriously if you're not working or wealthy then what point is there in keeping you around at that age?
