Is it 40? 50? 60? 65?
At what age are you finally too old to get a good job? |

Are you currently an executive looking a similar c suite job, no limit. Are you a doctor or lawyer or professor, no limit. Everyone else, 40 is end of the line. |

I've seen several lawyers ages 75 and up. It's more about client base than age. |

It depends. 80 is the new 40 for some people. |

What field? If a doctor or lawyer, that’s not unusual. |

Accountant here, found a decent job at 40 (over 200k). Might look for better job in 2 years. |

| I got my best job yet at 57 -part-time!- now turning 60 and still loving it. Learning so much everyday it’s overwhelming sometimes (oh and trying to remember things too 😂) |

What kind of field? At 45 I landed a great job and was one of the younger candidates. It ended at 55 and I was now an older candidate and much harder search. |

My appliance repair man is in his late 80's and still working full time. He is amazing.
You are never too old. The people working in their 70's and 80's look younger and keep their youth. |
