Patrick went out to lunch with an old friend, who works for a human service nonprofit. She told him she advertised for a night shift worker at one of the programs she supervises. The job pays $8 an hour. She got a 100 resumes, some of them from middle aged men who had never worked in the field.

She said, "It's crazy out there."
