Hell, what about Bob Lutz working for GM at age 77. I think the challenge drives him far more than the money. No?

Getting paid and loving what you do are not mutually exclusive. I bet pro athletes love their jobs far more than the rest of the world.
thats where the 'more power to him' part comes from ... but i must ask, how many guys do you think from the all-star roster this year would still beat the hell out of themselves 7 days a week 9 months out of the year for thousand dollar paychecks?
