There's nothing wrong with being 62...unless you are so disabled that getting out of bed is a chore. I loved my job till the 1980's when vehicles went computerized, then it wasn't as much fun anymore. But, if it wasn't for ill health brought on partially by standing on concrete for over 36 years, I'd still be at it.

NumberDummy, I stood on the concrete floor for almost 20 years at a Buick parts department, so I kinda know what your'e talking about.

Came home with some pretty sore feet and legs.

Plus the front counter was located where sometimes the cold S.F. breeze hit you.

A plumber could approach the issues and problems of a surgeon in a different way, but I would not want him assisting in surgery.
