Any suggestions for how an old timer (62 or older) can get a good paying job?

Maybe go through the state aging department where you live?

There's always prostitution. Hey, you'd be surprised!

Become a consultant for something.

Working for the county government... they have a CRAPLOAD of senior programs in Clark COunty NV. I dont know about your town, though.

The classifieds?

Stop using survey central for starters.

Take some college courses. I know my local community college offers all kinds of courses for seniors and even gives counseling and advice to seniors entering or re-entering the workforce.

no

They should ask their grandchildren to teach them about computers.

No idea...depends on their skills I guess.

Start by volunteering, make yourself indispensable, then ask for a paycheck.

There are lots of books and websites on career/job planning that are useful, from simple help-you-get-a-job resources to more complex what-am-I-doing-here-and-why sorts of resources. However, the first thing is to make sure you look at yourself in a positive way (I might be reading too much into your old-timer comment, if so I apologize in advance). If you see yourself as an old-timer and largely over/past life, so will other people and you'll have a harder time finding something appropriate for you. A friend told me about a scene from the "Golden Girls" TV show that is an example of this: An 80 year-old woman is applying to go into law school. Her daughter says criticizingly, "But Ma, you're going to be 84 when you get out!" She replies, "I'm going to be 84 anyways..."

I don't know how much they pay but Walmart always has a lot of older employees.

Publish your life story! :)

What do you consider "good paying", survey creator?

Sorry, no.

No.

If there is a branch of a serior services agency near you, contact them.

Hire on as a greeter at Wal-Mart.

Move to a country with age-discrimination laws. It'll still be difficult, but at least your chances are a little better.

That said, you'll be 70 now...
