His age plus years of service totaled the "unmagic" 80, number which means retirement for steel company executives. Milton C, 51, also was retired by a steel firm. He immediately began looking for another job. Albert A., 48, was making a year when a $20,000 "reorganization" of his steel firm meant the end of his employment. Bewildered The three men sought counsel from Robert J. Bushee, Pittsburgh employment specialist on advising former steel executives, engineers, computer programmers and others with technical skills. "Many who have been retired before their tune are basically Ex-VI- shaken and Ul even become violently mostly nerves. It's a traumatic experience. "Most applicants ask 'What can I do if I can't find a job at which I'm capable':'" Bushee's first task is delicate. He asks the man to reconcile himself to a lower salary in another job. "They soon face reality, and it's easier to counsel them," Bushee said. Studying Qualifications "When the age factor worries these men, I introduce them to my associates. Two are past 50 and two others are 60. They learned to adjust." Some cases have happy endings. Ed S. was placed with a firm in the metalwcrking field at $15,000 a year, $7,000 less than his former salary, but he is content.
