[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Sad part is the good rewarding jobs are not even available to 45. So you did the hard crappy work and now you give up just as it gets easy.

In America I noticed 21-40 is crap work for a lot then come 55 it is hold on for dear life as one gets older.

I would say 45 is the sweet spot. I would you bail them?  When I was 45 I finally got my corner office. Staff to do the work, I just go to meeting with my cup of coffee and look important. I had a good run of 45-55 marking 350K to 400K just playing a role I would just read off the slides sometimes my staff made It was wonderful. Then 55 came and time for next 45 year old to take my job.

By 45 your worked 24 years to reach the VP/SVP/EVP level dont bail, that is crazy.

Or do my wife did call it quits earlier and be a SAHM. .Workig till 45 with kids and quiting is nuts. You missed the kids when really little for a job that you quit anyhow befored you made any big money. And that 45-55 year run is past the big childcare bills. And at 55 is not over, it gets shorter, some start up or company in a bind or smaller company will still hire you for a bit less pay and you might get another 5 years of pretty big money before 60 hits.

If you look closely, you notice that as you go up the ladder, the over 50 crowd begins to disappear. People either make it into the C suite jobs, or they don’t and they get laid off or bail and disappear from white collar jobs.

For most people, things are not great after age 45 or so.[/quote]

Well it is called a Pyramid for a reason. [/quote]
