I plan to move to Durham or Southern Pines sometime in the near future. How difficult is it for someone in their mid-fifties, with only a high school diploma, to find work?

Any particular career in mind? Or just anything to put food on the table?

Any skills sets, or we talking "want fries with that" or a title with 'boy' in it, i.e. busboy, bagboy, bellboy, etc.?

It's not easy for someone with a graduate degree to find work right now.
