- matwood 10y agoThe fact you picked 55 instead of 30 says changes have already occurred in the right direction. Hopefully it continues.

- matt_wulfeck 10y agoUpvoted because these are great reads. Generally being younger is an advantage, but in how many trades does having more experience make you less desirable?
- mahyarm 10y agoI've noticed that being over 55 makes getting a new job harder for most industries!
