[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 42 and have seen my mid 50s colleagues fired left and right. One finally landed a decent job about 3 years later. One became a real estate agent. One retired and is trying to write books. I've considered getting an IT related degree myself to stay employable. [/quote] [b]Isn’t IT ageist? Even if you have a fresh degree they will pass you buy. [/b] I’m 45 and in Fed IT, and I wish I could leave and make more money but it seems kinda dicey if long term it would pay off if I’m laid off in 5 years. [/quote] If your plan is to work for a start-up or big tech company, then yes, ageism can be rampant. But many organizations need people with technical knowledge. [/quote]
