15. I agree with this. Larry King, Barbara Walters, Andrea Mitchell...on and on.

I know a lot of great 20-somethings who are unemployed, or underemployed. I also know a lot of 60 year old friends who have had 35+ years of full time employment as teachers, government workers, etc., with great pensions who just won't step aside and make room for a young person. I know many people 55+ are in dire straits and need to work....but many could easily afford to retire and cling to their jobs out of greed.

I wish we would stop celebrating people like King, Walters, Mitchell, etc. I'm tired of their faces and I want young people to get their chances.
