When I was working full time I used to say that when I retired that I wanted to be a barista.  It took a while to get hired, as I was 69 at the time and probably considered too old for the stress of the job.  Persistance paid off and I have been working as a barista for almost two years.  It is a very rewarding job to serve customers something that they enjoy and that makes them feel better.  I was fortunate to have a boss who was willing to take a chance on a senior person and we have a great working relationship.  Also, I love a good cup of coffee.
