With the economy as soft as it is, and as hard as it can be for older workers to find jobs in this enviornment, I sometimes wonder why more guys in, say, their fifties don't take advantage of retraining grants to get into the business. I wouldn't want to do it myself since my back couldn't take being on my feet all day, but it strikes me as a more interesting way to make a living than riding herd on a machine in a plant.

Maybe I'll have to think about a story revolving around a barber . . .
