Is 73 too old to go to work part time as an indoor fork lift truck driver?

I am a woman from a long lived family, I live in southern California, am in basically good health, and I take no regular meds.

Never too old! I just got a job trenching and digging holes. If you're body and mind can do it, there's nothing that should stop you.

@rottenrobi Wow! Is it a permanent job? How did you get it? I am still building up stamina after an illness and an accident kept me down for a while, but doing better every day and starting to feel like I could go back to work. There are a lot of warehouse jobs around here.

@greenmountaingal Its a permanent job, and I just went and applied for it. The owner of the company did a quick bit about how "this isn't a pretty job", and "it's hard work". But I knew I could do it, and he hired me. I had to prove myself to the other guys for the first week, but now were all good. It is hard work, but I like it.
When you get yo feeling good, go and apply, especially to a job you know how to do well. Your confidence will come through.
You've got this!
