[quote=Anonymous]I'm 51 and this is starting to happen to me and my college classmates. We're lawyers and engineers who were doing all right (low six figure incomes) but made the mistake of getting old during a recession/labor glut. I'm trying to hang onto my house on less than half of my old income. Age 50 is a big wall in the labor market. I have talked to HR people I know and they admit (off the record, of course) that once a 50 year old is unemployed for a couple months, they quickly drop to the bottom of the list, even if they say they are willing to take less money. Good luck and do what you have to do. You may never get back to the life that you thought you were going to have but the clock is ticking on enjoying the life that you have now![/quote]
