Default Re: Dealing as a part-time job in retirement?

[ QUOTE ]
I’m a 60-year-old college teacher thinking about what I want to do with myself when I retire in a couple of years. I really enjoy playing poker live, and like watching the people and how they play almost as much as I like playing myself. I think I’d like dealing, and I think I’d be good at it. So I was wondering if becoming a novice dealer at age 62 is a reasonable thing to work towards, or is it considered a young person’s job, (particularly by those likely to be doing the hiring)?

Do one thing before you venture to this part-time job. Take a deck of cards and shuffle (if electronic shufflers are absent) than deal them out for 3 or 4 hours straight. Take a 30 minute breather and come back for more. Don't know about you Sir but I myself wouldn't want to do it. You're retired, play poker.
