<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=402083218-29022004>Due to
mundane financial reasons, I needed to get a job or we were looking at being
booted to the curb in a couple of months. So, I got a job at Six
Flags.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=402083218-29022004>I just
had amy job training Saturday and I had to say wow at all the different ages and
backgrounds that Six Flags hired! I will be working Season Passes this
year in Guest Services. In my department alone, we had a 65 year old male,
a 54 year old male, a 52 year old female and 3 of us in our 30's.
Naturally, all us "old folks" stayed together and we got to talking, most of us
are "proffessionals" having a tough time finding employment within our fields
because we too are "over-qualified" or (because most companies won't say it) too
old.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=402083218-29022004>I say
this because sometimes jobs lie in the most unusual places. I like working at
Six Flags. No, there are no health insurance benfits, it's only for 9
months and the pay pretty much sucks, but it's a job and it's income.
If you have good credit and good criminal background, you can get some better
paying jobs out there doing anything from loss prevention (that includes mystery
shopping) to working in Cash Control.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=402083218-29022004>I
agree that we shouldn't have extended unemployment benefits, too. I have seen
too many people (mostly here in my apartment complex) who are lazy and won't
even seriously start looking for a job until their benefits run out.
