WHY doesn't this site have a section on Employment?

I can never understand why this site does not have a specific section on employment. Not every senior has retired, and many seniors have to work, as well as choose to work. There is no-where for senior people to share their experiences, and for moral support. 

All of my friends are around my age and still working - but this site rarely offers supportive assistance as it is always geared to those who have retired. We don't want to read about trips to places costing over $1500 a night, or how to make your super go longer in retirement. The government is urging us - no MAKING us work longer, and not every one has a big pile of super to sit on.

We want support advice and help NOW - the government won't offer it. I am sure many seniors would welcome somewhere where they could support and help each other with feedback, comments, tips, etc.

Well, it has now Sunnyoz, 

Lets see if your effort in planting the seed for this topic bears fruit.

I'm sure you will get a fair amount of response and you just have to keep the comments flowing...

Good Luck...:)



I stand to be corrected but isn't this site mostly about people about to retire or retirees?

 

Here are a couple of sites to do with employment for seniors  which I found after doing a Google search.  There are others as well.

 

www.olderworkers.com.au

www.seniorjobbank.org

www.benext.com.au

www.nationalseniors.com.au

 

 

Hubby retired at 72.....he went kicking too!

Now I have him gardening!!

I remember when we first met and he came to my home where I had my two teenage boys living with me still at high school.

Hubby asked if he could help!  I said you can go and trim the new lavender hedge I am training if  you like!

Forty minutes later I looked at what he had done!  eeeeeks!

I thought he knew that you never cut lavender back to the wood, but only cut the soft tissue!

there went my lavender hedge I had to dig it up and start again..........
