In the field services, there are more inspectors over the age of 65 years than inspectors under the age of 25 years. The average age of all field service inspectors is about 50 years old. I talk to inspectors who are in their 80's. Bob in Alabama is in his 80's. Jack in New Jersey is in his 80's. They are sharp and their performance is great. Seniors do a great job. They are an important part of the field services industry.
Seniors grew up in a time that was much different than today.
• Decisions were made by going 'Eeny-meeny-miney-moe'
• 'Race issue' meant arguing about who ran the fastest
• Catching tadpoles could happily occupy an entire day
• It wasn't odd to have two or three 'Best Friends'
• The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was 'chickenpox'
• Having a Weapon in School meant being caught with a slingshot
• War was a card game
• Cigarette cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle
• Taking drugs meant orange - flavoured chewable aspirin?
• Water balloons were the ultimate weapon?
