Yeah mate my dad's ex-friend was over 60 and used to volunteer for all the early morning traffic control jobs cos he'd get allowance and around 45$ an hour back in 2000ish... When i did work experience at my local council office in hogh school almost all the office workers had traffic control tickets and when i asked a guy why he said 'it's basically free money and we rotate around'.
