Nothing deep today….but definitely my idea of the ideal retirement!

When companies don’t think of the “whole” picture.

Of course there are a lot of reasons for the rising job loss numbers affecting the Baby Boomer generation. The fact is that, whatever the reasons, the mere fact that Boomers are such a large portion of the work force will naturally lead to a huge impact on them.

Here is some good information that asks if companies are thinking of the future effect of losing so many of their workforce that carry with them, vast amounts of experience and judgment, while they are so busy reducing overhead through cutbacks and outsourcing.

Interesting comparison of 2008 and 1982 college graduates…

It’s interesting when some comparisons are made between groups of people you would think would have different opinions about similar subjects, especially over a span of 26 years.

Talk about deciding what career to go into…

If you have a son or daughter going to college and undecided what field to go into, there’s always doctor, lawyer, teacher… and ah… funeral director???

So stock up Boomers and get your fishin’ poles out.

Tom Brokaw’s book about Boomers now in paperback.

I loved Tom’s book about the Greatest Generation. In 2007 he released “Boom” about the 1960’s. I haven’t read it yet, but I’m wondering if he, as many others, say the Boomers had a positive or negative on our culture.

OK….now I have one more thing to worry about…

Along with everything else that we keep in the back of minds… the economy in crisis, job loss, world foreign policy issues, retirement funds, weight, stress, crime, Viagra…on and on…and now…bone density loss in men too?? … I think I have to go lie down…

Obviously, I kid!!! We need to be aware of any potential issues we all face. I much prefer to prevent something from happening than deal with it when it’s upon you…not that we need to worry about everything in this world…just do the best we can.
