[quote=Anonymous]Yes, OP, it will be much harder. You might get lucky and land your dream job, but I would not count on it. I was absolutely shocked at the difference in my desirability as an employee between 40 and 50. I'd gained so much more experience and thought I'd be highly desirable at 50, but people my age are being laid off in droves. Why? Because we're too expensive, AND because younger employers do not want to be intimidated by older workers with more experience and better skills. And post 2008, things changed completely, and likely permanently. Plan to start your own business and be your own boss, but if you want a different type of job, you'd better find it before you turn 50.[/quote]
