The magic 75 is the total of age and time of service. 54 with 31 = 85

Sorry to hear Brud.

What are you going to do? I'm sorry to ask what may seem like a inappropriate question. I've been told I ask questions a child might ask.

I ask because I don't think the topic of your thread will be rare these days. I made it through the first round. I went directly to the Principals of the firm and asked a kid question and they said not to worry. Right.

What I'd like to know is did you ever want to do something totally different than where you were? In hind sight, I should have been a Park Ranger. Too late now though.

You ever think about doing something you really wanted to do or do something you thought might be rewarding in other ways?

Again I'm sorry to see this and I hope I have not been too rude.

Your question was not in any way rude.

Before the economy took a nose dive I definately had plan A, B, and C in case I got layed off. Now A, B and C don't exist any more. Checked into Customs Agents and Air Marshalls but I'm too old. I let my Commercial Drivers License expire so that's out for now. Hopefully I can land with one of the out sourcing companies that will be back filling the positions that Sprint has layed off.

You know, that is SO SMART! I mean, it's too bad the plans A B and C didn't pan out, but I have never even thought through a plan past going to the unemployement office. I work in IT dept of a major financial services company and we're certainly vulnerable. I guess I'd look at temp agencies and outsourcers too.
