I basically have changed the kind of jobs I look for. Now I am doing only contracts that are very focused. They are not long term. They WANT someone with a lot of experience. At this point I'm just trying to make money to support myself.

The traditional interview questions are so bogus. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? How do you answer that when you are close to retirement?

NOT WORKING, RELAXING, DOING WHATEVER I WANT.
