Not really. We've been trying to find employment for the last nine months. If we receive a call regarding a position then we are asked for the year(s) we graduated. When we (my wife and myself) tell them, they just hang up on the phone call. Extremely frustrating and very rude. We are both in good health, youthful oriented and more than willing to do almost anything to supplement our retirements.
