Inventing might not be a full time job but if you watch Shark Tank there are tons of people trying to build a better mouse trap

Sorry @kato, answering your jobs question now.

Basically the job market blows, I didn't look real hard since it was around the holidays. The other main employee sent out 75 resumes and got two responses. He went to work for a competitor and was let go after a week, the owner just wanted his accounts that we blocked him from. The main supplier also called him 2X a week for 6 weeks to be a fill-in until the territory was sold, I was never contacted even though I had the highest profitable area.

Right before Christmas, a old co-worker got me some hours driving cannibus around the state. It pays decent, but you don't know your schedule until the night before, nor do you know where you are going to. Nothing like driving 7000 pounds of weed around 8 Mile in Detroit at 4 PM on a friday. Tomorrow, my first stop is in Traverse City - over 4 hours away.

Anyway, the local casino is starting dealers school at the beginning of April. Not many options that have great benefits for a 60-YO right now, so that looks like the plan for me.

It's going to get worse for a lot of people this year IMO.
 
Got offered a job as an information officer for Elections Canada working the Federal Election Monday, April 28, 2025 and for the advanced polls that start soon. Prolly gonna pass on the advanced polls but will work the election day gig as I've done in the past.

Rate of pay is only $21 an hour but its a 14 hour workday with OT after 8 hours so the day is good for a few hundo, basically for sitting around and doing as little as possible.
