Am I missing the reinvention in this story? Man works for years in the loans business and as a lecturer in business courses to Americans in Maryland. Gets laid off, takes a couple of years but eventually finds a job first in the loans business and then as a lecturer in business courses, but gasp to Americans living in Germany!
- epoxyhockey 13y agoIt looks like he went from the VP of a student loan company to a lowly financial adviser at Merrill Lynch. He now teaches business courses in Germany, which he considers as his dream job. I guess reinvention to you and I are vastly different than to the writer of this article. I, like you, don't see any retraining or new skills being developed to gain the new job. He just used another subset of resume (Phd) to get another job. If anything, this article is showing how boomers, once making comfy 6-figure salaries, are now getting bumped down on the payscale (sub-6-figures) as time goes on.
