[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people I know who make under $200k have eventually found another job post 45. Sure it may have taken them awhile. It think people most affected by ageism are those earning very high salaries post 45.[/quote]

I sincerely hope they are outliers. If for example a 50 years old statistician is laid off their next option is teacher, retail or business driver then that's an absolute disaster. I am only 32 and this is discouraging to read. I started my career as a math teacher at 22. I quite 4 years later and I am not going back. Teaching sucks. It's not for everyone. Bus driver forget it. Retail come on..[/quote]

The applications of stats in corporate are perceived to be junior role, if you are 50 years old and want a job in corporate, you need institutional experience outside of stats.

A lot of people made the mistake of valuing “technical work” and never evolved their brand.

Not sure how things work in academia or government.[/quote]
