Back in 1986, I went through the interview process of getting a job as a toll-taker on the Golden Gate Bridge. The job paid $14 an hour, a very nice wage at that time, since the minimum wage was $3.35 an hour.
Bridge authorities recently announced a plan for electronic toll-collection, effectively ending the careers of those who currently perform the duty.
Hard to believe if I had gotten the job (and stuck with it), that I'd have my 25 years in already.
