Rose finds out that her pension is suspended and wants to find another job in order to be able to live. but she faces the problem of age discrimination. To get help she goes to a TV personality who helps injustices to make an age discrimination complaint there she hears that he is looking for assistant, but he says that she is too old for that. She still applies for a job and makes it.

A decent episode bringing up the unfairness of age discrimination so many face.

It is a bit of lesser quality than most of the latest Golden Girls episode because it doesn't bring as much humor as usually and they were always great at combining humor and serious matter.

This episode is so eerily similar to the "Job Hunting" episode of Season 1. The gist is essentially the same. Due to an unfortunate event, Rose is forced to look for a job and, in both episodes, she blames getting older as the main reason why she can't find one. And in both episodes, it never dawns on Rose or anybody else that the main reason she can't find one is that she is woefully unqualified for any of them. How Rose was ever able to get a job as a grief counselor without a high school diploma, and in this episode, as a consumer reporter's assistant (and later as an associate producer!) with no relevant education or experience in either field, remains a mystery. Not to mention the fact that Rose is a complete idiot. Why this basic premise of a story had to be told in two episodes is odd and aren't even consistent with each other. Rose claims she was only ever a housewife in "Job Hunting" but in this episode we learn Rose managed a pet shop for 10 years - huh?
