Good luck but it is real vague on what job exactly. Age might be a problem but again, no idea what specialty/title you would have.

I suspect the government would hire someone younger at half the price :(

Arent there rules against ageism for Government jobs? They cant even request a d.o.b. on application forms?

Was wondering if they had a mandatory retirement age I can make more money in 5 years than I've made in the last 32 if I can get myself hired Requires a high level security clearance but I have high enough clearance to inspect stealth fighter parts right now and do

63? Maybe...I don't know though? Sure can't hurt to try GP,and think you'd do just fine.

Went back to work as a contractor got bored Am actually making more money now than I was on a job I had for 31 years And dont have a boss
Sounds peachy but I could never have been self-employed. My boss would have been too lenient and probably wouldn't have cared whether I showed up for work or not.
