What Happens To You?

what happens to you when
you're in your late fifties,
forty years of on-the-job experience....

and your job shuts down!
you lose everything you've worked for
in an instant.... no job, no future...

and no degree!

invisible people with hard earned callouses....
dedicated moral earn their way people...
not everyone wants...

to be a Walmart greeter!
