Fern,

I’m stumped.

This is an actual scenario.

She had worked f/t and went to p/t several years ago. Lots of people I know have done that or change status to become consultants.

In any event, her p/t status really isn’t the point of the post. But I appreciate you bringing up your point.

this scenario sounds entirely implausible. A 70-year old woman working p/t gets an early retirement package? Sounds highly unlikely.

MJ,

Thanks for your comment. Yes. I agree completely. The interesting thing is (now that you mention it) that when Jenny and I started talking it was all about money. By the time we finished the conversation, her decision process had little to do with money.

Interesting.

Neal,

I think your post is indicitive of something more important than Jenny.

“Even though Jenny’s not making much money for the time she puts in, she gets a lot out of her job.”

It shows that life is more than money sometimes.
