in NYC. Wonder if any BBIers have any experience with this. Article is non-partisan so please keep politics out of it.

Seems like there are way too many lifeguards in their 50s and 60s

Oh man.... I was a Lifeguard and Lifeguard Trainer

when I was in my early 20s. We worked with one of the largest, if not the largest, commercial life guard training organizations in the world. Every water park, beach resort and theme park used them.

It was insane the money they got paid. Just insane. It was run by a handful of retired beach bums.

Those guys just traveled around, partied HARD and cashed the checks.

I should have been a lifeguard.
This is a great article, should be a biopic
