[quote=Anonymous]This is the same in many many fields, OP. Older and more experienced workers cost more money than younger raw ones. At some point, the balance tips when the company decides the older worker is not "worth it" anymore and prefers to risk hiring an inexperienced youngling, with the potential costs of all the mistakes s/he is likely to make. My 62 year old Dad is in IT, a very experienced manager, and feels he is going to get pushed out any day now. He has survived many a purge, which ousted all his fellow ITs of his own age. 3 reasons: 1. he drives the implementation of cutting edge IT protocols in the company 2. he has developed into a great manager because of his experience (he wasn't at first - kept complaining about it!) 3. he does his best to network and his colleagues have helped him out of crisis situations. He is trying to line up consultancy work for when they do push him out.[/quote]
