Yeah, there are still jobs.
On the other hand it's going to be harder to land them. My sister, who looks younger than her mid-30s, was at a job interview wherein the founders told her they didn't want any "old people", meaning people over 30.

- gozur88 10y agoPersonally I think age discrimination laws are dumb. People who don't want to hire someone my age will find a reason to select younger candidates. I'd rather have it right there in the job req so I don't waste my time pursuing opportunities that aren't there.
- sharemywin 10y agoI don't know, most of the time it's pretty obvious I stopped being a "ninja" years ago...
- mikestew 10y agoMy sister, who looks younger than her mid-30s, was at a job interview wherein the founders told her they didn't want any "old people" Any company so dense that they make statements during an interview that open them to legal liability is truly a company you don't want to work for. Because I guarantee there's a whole host of other stuff they aren't supposed to do as employer and aren't aware of it. Little stuff like, I dunno, "no, you can't put that in an employment contract and ask people sign it" or "actually, that's not how payroll works in this state". Specific to your sister, if they don't like old people, I'll bet they wouldn't be fond of having girlz in their frat house, either. Unless she's cute, of course.
