Someone gave me a cup once that said something like "I'm a meteorologist. Assume that I'm wrong". No respect, no respect at all!
That sir is the perfect job. If you make a forecast and your correct, you’re good. If you make a forecast and you’re wrong it’s always easy to explain why.
That's why I went into the research and development side of meteorology. I didn't have to put up with all of the crap forecasters have to go through.
[/QUOTE] Well said and understood. However, our understanding of "older" workers might differ. I'm referring to the well seasoned 50s folks. Literally, unhirable...[/QUOTE] I am 56 and very regularly deflect inquiries to hire me away from my company. However engineering is a VERY wide field with many specialties and my field of practice and expertise may be different from other engineers. I may also simply have been fortunate to be where I am at right now.
I've looked into it, even the fractional and I don't get it. That's ok I'm old and right now feel safe buying and selling coins, silver and gold.
