** where'd the thread go? @_@ **
Heheheh ...
For your case I think you had to adapt to living circumstances eh.. it's resilience lah, anyway IMO as long as can work when you want to and there is income flowing in , it's a good achievement already - anything is better than being jobless!Originally posted by jetta:*raises hand* Ex-copywriter turned preschool teacher, now selling appliances.

What, professional?
Home-based caterer?Originally posted by jetta:Nope. My mother was a housewife for the longest time. At 70, she's now a cook. -
It depends.
For Wanda's case if she wants to take up a course in health care, where there may be bonds with hospitals and subsidies and such, maybe there is a cut off age for joining such programs.Originally posted by tare:

Wah you see my mother very up. Kam siah hor. No lah, she gets an hourly pay to be a short order cook at the US base in Sembawang. Looks like my mother also cannot escape being connected to the US Navy.Originally posted by choco B:What, professional? Home-based caterer? -
i wonder if a physio can go into private practise?
sort of like the few chiropractic places around... -
My mother-in-law did just that. She gave up her supervisor job with an insurance company to do what she was interested in. She became a masseuse. Had to take a 6-month course, get certified and all that. Then she did up the little cottage on her property and turned that into her "office". She says she's not making the kind of money she used to make but she's happy.Originally posted by choco B:It depends.

I have not seen any conditions specified in terms of age...so far, but I wonder how long can one work as a physio....till 50, 60 yrs old?? -
Yeah -
I'm impressed leh, to be re-employed at 70 is not easy feat... but your mom must really be healthy and mobile too! What's her secret?

That's my mother. *beams* She is a very good sport and *touch wood* healthy. When she visited us 5 years ago, she played Twister with my kids. Hilarious!! 65 year old woman playing Twister.Originally posted by choco B:I'm impressed leh, to be re-employed at 70 is not easy feat... but your mom must really be healthy and mobile too! What's her secret? I guess she has good genes and her great disposition helps too. 
She's flown to visit my family and my sister's family many many times. She's about to make another trip to CA soon. My sister's preggars with her 3rd child. -

I duno. Until the day the physio needs a physio?
I think you needn't worry too much about income , to be honest. With our greying population and more welcoming mindset with regards to therapy and alternative treatments, physios should be in increasing demand, and along will go their pay!
Besides you have another steady breadwinner in the family.Originally posted by Wanda:I see what you mean.

Just now I was talking to the Evergreen girl till I almost vomitted blood
Then I used my boss as an excuse that he is very angry with me coz I cannot get the forward shipping schedule from her
(BTW this girl is very F-up >.<" )
In the end she said she wanted to speak to my boss and she managed to piss him off by talking in circles to him
I could hear him yelling at her and demanding to speak to her manager
