Alisia Sutphen: I remember when going into the theatre to see a movie cost just a dime. There's nothing amazing about having to pay only 25 cents. What is amazing is that your mom was wealthy enough to pop for 50 cents to get rid of you for a few hours. That was a small fortune when I was young and I had to do chores every day of the week to get that one thin dime. We were all outraged when the county imposed a penny luxury tax to that dime. They must have thought people were made of money. I swear, I'm too old for this category. Senior citizens is now mostly kiddies....Show more

Kandi Lough: best of luck! i had a cutting edge career.museum science.there were 40 people in my department.now there are 5. most of the people i work with have been unable,in this recession, to find another job,especially if over 50.people with multiple degrees are now hoping to find work at the mall.(but they are "over-qualified.")best of luck to! u,but now is a terrible time for anyone to find a job,particularly one that is "cutting edge." my husband ran his own company for 13 years,did well untill late 2007 when the real estate market crashed badly.now he is in his 50's,and went from a respected business owner with 15 employees,to a security guard at little over minimum wage.yes,we both have a degree.in fact,i have 2....Show more

Indira Wassell: I'm guessing you haven't worked in 10 years or more?Put in applications anywhere and everywhere t! hat you think you might want to work. Whenever you are out an! d about, take notice of how many and where over 50 women are working.Don't be shy--Apply.You may start out a cashier, clerk or waitress but retail businesses tend to have high turnover. Take your job seriously, demonstrate a dedicated work ethic and you could wind up a manager. You mentioned care taking skills. Do you mean mom skills? Or do you have paid experience?You need to do a skills assessment. Check out resume writing sites on the internet. They'll help you translate things you've done into marketable skills. What's a cutting edge career for you? I don't know what you can do, or want to do, so I can't give you an honest answer. Do you really meant a break-in job that might lead to a career? I once hired a gal to drive one of our transport vans. She later became a teacher aide and then trained as a social worker....Show more
Janean Guz: Seems like you like the computer. With very minimal training you can get a job with processing data etc. Computers, he! alth care, recycling and alternative enegy are the jobs where your future is ensured.
Carter Dewater: Here is a reasonable answer but not very creative, become a substitute teacher. I was a certified substitute teacher for 10 years, I loved it.I only worked elementary grades, K -5. Every day I was working during the school year. I started when my son went into kinder garden. The principle let me bring my 3 year old daughter with me. During the summer I was home with the kids. It may not be for you, just a thought. Poppy
Lue Podewils: You almost got me but nothing is greater than God. Nothing.
Chris Rosenkranz: Depends on your education thus far & your overall skills... Paralegal or some type of office work w/a law firm. Medical transcriber - some work from home. Medical billing. Office manager (based on your talents at handling that household)
Charline Granes: no
An Trebil: Sign up with a temp agency. You will be able to list your skil! ls and they will match you with positions available. You will be sent ! on assignments which will vary greatly, thus you will learn a lot about different companies and will become aware of how your skill set can fit into them. You will also learn a lot about yourself and the things you do not want to do. Many times temporary jobs turn into full time jobs. Employers "try you out", that way they are not committed until they know for sure that you are a good fit for their company's culture.I'm not sure whether our current economy is better or worse for temporary agencies, so just do a little research to determine whether or not this may be an avenue you want to consider.This is the route I took back into the working world after being a stay at home mom for 15 years. I went from working on the switchboard at a Corporate Bank to working in their Human Resources Department for five years. I was then hired by a local utility company as a customer service agent where I worked for thirteen years, retiring with a 401K, company retirement, and a compa! ny paid life insurance policy.You may have to start small, but if you are serious about your work, are punctual, willing to take advantage of the training programs which you will be offered, if you are honest and trustworthy, treating everyone with respect, and act in a professional way at all times, it is possible to climb the ladder of success. Best wishes in your career search...Show more
Boyce Gilhooly: OK! SO all you who answered nothing how old are you and do you have a degree??hheeHee!
Marcelle Vanlith: nothing! ;]
Marhta Teahan: Not one of them,but the church i go to does the hands on dab the holy oil on the hurt & prays. So far i have not seen any of them cured. I go for my wifes sake mostly.
Margart Stimpert: Sure do and they had some vending machines that you could get candy for 5 cents in my town.
Collin Barter: Nothing
Lynn Mctier: the answer is "Nothing"
Barton Morfee: If you let a religion dictate your health status! you are a fool. You gotta stay healthy to be a good Christian Scienti! st. Sick or dead ones are no use to any one. No way would the ACLU get involved. There is no violation of their rights. Remember you choose a religion. You are not born that way.
Cristopher Gavalis: I remember getting into the movies for a quarter for 12 and under and thinking I had it made, my older cousins paid 35 cents. We also got into the zoo for a quarter (Topeka Kansas)
Nilda Bafia: ....Dirt...........????
Germaine Tieken: We got in for 20 cents, and I enjoyed Sugar Daddies or Juicy Fruits. ;-). Gosh those were the good old days. My favorite cartoons were Mickey Mouse nd Tom and Jerry. I remember the Newsreels too.when I was a kid Shirley Temple movies, westerns and musicals were popular.
Keven Drumgole: "Nothing"
Kenneth Blacker: Nothing!(I DID actually get that without looking at the answers! :-P)
Ricardo Rozelle: Admission was a quarter, popcorn was 15 cents and a fountain drink was a dime.But, if we went to the Kiddie S! how on Saturday at 9:00AM. Admission was free. So we'd have 75 cents of our $1 allowance left over.
Dick Maisenbacher: We got in for 15 cents. The adult price was 25 cents.
Coralie Goldsberry: I remember some Saturday morning specials where you needed 2 bottle caps to get in and the popcorn was a dime and the small soda was a nickel. I think the movies only lasted about 90 minutes but it was a real thrill in those days. I dont remember exactly what was playing but it might have been a melody ranch shoot 'em up.The coke machine at the community center had a bottle for a nickel and we would stand & drink then put the empty in the crate on the side of the machine.
Stevie Goldey: Real Estate is still a viable choice for middle-aged women.Unless you have a management background, you really cannot get hired at all due to age discrimination.The Retail sector are always hiring people of all ages and that is the best bet I think.Almost every other hot job is go! ing to be filled by someone younger.These days you have to share in the! cost of group insurance if the employer even offers it....Show more
Stan Conley: One town we went to it cost 25 cents,and another smaller town it was only 10 cents. I was big for my age and sometimes they wanted to charge me adult price and had to argue a little. Sometimes we would sneak our own candy in from home to save money. One place even had a certain night you could win a free sack of grocery's.
Jude Kennelly: Yes I remember them, when we went to the movies on base they were 25 cent, but to tell you the truth I think I ran around the theater more then watching the shows LOL I do remember those Hershey bars and Good n Plenty candies.
Lucrecia Laurito: I remember getting in the movies for 14 cents. I wouold also get 50 cent allowance , every other week. We needed to take the bus, which was a nickel. then we walked 2 blocks to the theatre. paid our 14cents . we got a 15 cent box of popcorn, Then we were able to get one candy for 10 cents. then we p! aid another nickle for the trip home. That was such a treat! We could not buy pop back then as they did not sell it at the movies.
Len Dalba: Healthcare jobs go unfilled, and while nursing is a tough job you may not want to start at 50, there are other less demanding areas like Radiology techs, Physical therapists and Occupational therapists, Medical Records and Billing specialists, and other positions that pay well...some require a college degree but some you can train for in a few months.
Robbie Starchman: A friend of mine got a job at a convalescent home assisting with terminally ill patients. She doesn't do any dirty work, or anything medical. She said she is mainly just a "friend" to the patients and family and is present when the Dr comes in. She seems to love it and said it's rewarding. Plus she has benefits and fair wages.
Mickey Isle: your fathers best sperm is drying on a light bulb in prison.
Len Bormes: Just like you, the local theate! r (Mueller, Omaha Ne) was about two blocks away. The admission price wa! s much less if you were under the age of twelve. I was tall for my age and was usually hassled (at the age of 10 & 11) whenever I stepped up to the ticket booth. I actually produced a birth certificate one day to save a nickle or a dime. Popcorn was 5 cents a bag or 10 cents a box. Favorite confection was Dots. On the way home, if we had any money left, we'd stop at this Mom & Pop grocery and buy penny candy. I really liked those wax 'bottles' that contained a sip of sugary sweetness.This particular theater had a 'crying room', where mom's could go take noisy infants and still watch the flick, with piped in sound.
Ricardo Rozelle: and how will this, your Obamacare , force you out of your religion ?
Toney Flaten: You know that is a valid point and the ACLU, if the Christian Scientists are willing to use them, may make a case in court. But I'd be willing to bet the argument against them would be who would pay if a Christian Scientist got into a bad accident and n! eeded emergency or ongoing care.
Conrad Puleio: Physician's Assistant (PA). My sister sent back to school at 50 to get her degree. She is now a PA living in Maui. However, she had been a paramedic for many years prior.

Julienne Poplawski: Nothing is the answer to that riddle.
Deangelo Marchak: nothing. thats the answer
Theresia Fashaw: My mom would give us each 50 cents and we walked about a block and a half to the theater. We got in for 25 cents, Popcorn and Coke were 10 cents each and we would get some JuJuBees or R! ed Hots for a nickle --- what you didn't eat were great for throwing --! pom poms if I were going to eat them all. For the 25 cents you got 3 cartoons a movie, more cartoons, a serial ( I liked Rocket Man), a news reel another movie. What was your favorite serial or cartoons -- Heckel and Jeckel ?...Show more
Basil Blasingame: Mom,or love
