[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The least ageist occupations are in industrys with a low rate of change and where experience increases an employee's value, particularly those which require a high degree of craftsmanship.

Examples would include the following: tailor/dressmaker, watch maker/repairman, cabinet maker/carpenter, typesetter/printer, artist, interpreter/translator.

Government (and, to some extent, education) could be included, too, but that is more because of the difficulty of firing anyone.

Another possibility would be in professions where few or no young people have the necessary skills to maintain critical systems.  For example, COBOL programmers.[/quote]

Watchmaker? Typesetter? COBOL?  Those are only protected from ageism because those are dying jobs and all the people who ever did it have retired and no one is interested in that work.

Amused at translator — AI will eliminate that in a generation.

Artist?  Okay?  That’s a hobby not a career for 99% of people. [/quote]
