Well, they have been encouraging the boomers to retrain for another more skilled career. This seems to fit the bill quite nicely. Has interesting benefits if you fail you get a few days of free room and board. If you succeed, you eat a bonus meal tonight.

Sounds the like the old spend down to the last $500 Pension Plan. Use the last to activate the SMITH & WESSON PLAN and at least get free room and board.
