Dear friends, Young PWP's (I mean those under 60) have a specific problems on top of PD : too young for retirement, unshrinkable needs (young children at home), saving money for later ... Statistics state that 50% of PWP's are diagnosed under 55. Whatever the exact count, there are a lot of them, and they all have the same problems added to PD : Keep their job if they have one - Ignore PD at work and pretend they can do as much as before - Talk about PD and find a new way to achieve the same goals - Find a niche where PD can be coped with Make a decision if and when they lose their job - Keep fighting for a job - Find out they are not able to compete - Deal with the loss of their professional identity React - Find alternate money to survive, and/or squeeze their expenses - Find a new identity If you are interested in this topic, please drop me a message (public or personal) with the letters JOBS as the start of your header. If you don't like the idea, please drop me a message (public or personal) with the letters NOJOBS as a header, thus allowing me to read or delete. If I get more JOBS messages than NOJOBS messages, I am ready to create a cross-list sub-group called JOBS. The only rules would be : talk about JOBS and start your header with the letters JOBS. Other list members not interested would filter or delete on the keyword JOBS If I get a majority of NO's, I will forget it and stay :) Regards Bernard JOLY (64/8) [log in to unmask]
