Reply #41: I am 59 and I can tell you employers are not interested

[blues90]

Even if you have experience and are dedicated they are not interested . They focus on the youth and face it at 59 I can't keep up with the labor or the fast paced technology . A high school grad has had years of modern prep I will never have and the old fall back on a trade is dead now days .

we have been weeded out and discarded .

I used to go to an old hardware store where most of the employees where there 30 years or more , one day the entire store had going out of business signs and the empty shelves were very similar to the looks on these tossed out older employees faces , they were lost and sad and worried . It was a sad thing indeed , they lost their entire life in seconds and their entire community ties .

I have seen this over and over again at an accelerated pace .
