Hey Heidi, Congrats on AdAge, very cool model and great that someone is looking into that group of our society.
We have a platform where the older generations can put their skills to good use and make an income. It's "casual tour guiding" for lack of a better term, but I am sure that many within the older generations have a wealth of local knowledge that could really improve people's experience of a place. It's possibly a long shot, but I would be interested to see how many people within your network would be keen to take it on. All the best, let me know if you wanna chat Vinko Co-founder: http://arribaa.com/ On Thursday, 12 July 2012 11:32:44 UTC+10, peaty wrote: > > Finding this forum very interesting, so now I've got a better feel for it, > thought it was time to introduce myself. > > I started my career as a tax cadet at KPMG back in 2001 and later moved > into the marketing team.
