Work in the Medical Device arena, producing or R&D developing products & technologies for catheters and catheter components. No college diploma, be 70 years of age this coming April, still carry 85 lb packs at the start of a two week wilderness mountain trip but somehow companies do not jump at hiring me. Currently working 40 hours a week but not sleeping well at all from related shoulder surgery pain and meds so something has got to give. Retirement, I don't think so! If anyone knows of a startup Medical Device company developing a catheter and needing an Extrusion type well, that's me and I'd appreciate receiving the contact information for the company!!.........................63bkpkr

I may be retired now, but when I started digging for stuff, I was about 23 years old. When I did retire in 2000 from the telco, I expected to have more time to dig. However, now I have more things to do, and seemingly no time to do them in!
