[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i am 40 and work in technology as a senior project manager. I enjoy what I do and am good at it. I am getting concerned though that I won't be able to work in my field in my 50s and 60s since younger people will be seen as more desirable. I get so scared about this I think maybe I should shift into a career where my age won't be a detriment. I've got at least 27 years of work left! Anyone else have a similar fear? [/quote] OP, your management experience will always be valuable. Just be sure to stay up to date with your technical knowledge. There are plenty of smaller consulting firms which hire more experienced people for their ability to plan things at a higher level; the young folk are used to do the actual coding, etc. My former managers all do this type of work, and they are in their 50's and 60's.
