[quote=Anonymous][quote]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] You should. Tech is seen as youth driven and if you are feeling it now it will only get worst. Experience and other things will not over come the feeling that they can get someone younger, with more "drive" and cheaper. I am in sales and see it in many fields, including my own. I don't agree with it, but it happens a lot. One manager showed me the numbers one time. She could hirer two college grads and train them up for the cost of the season worker(high salary demands and healthcare cost)[/quote]
