I am also in this age bracket and totally agree. Sorry to tell you kids, age is not like race or sex. There is a huge difference between what you are getting if you hire me now vs when I was 25. It is two completely different people. At 25, I wouldn't have even asked how high. I would have just repeatedly jumped as high as I could. Now, if I don't feel like jumping and you push me to jump I will just quit because I can. Not to mention, if you learn new things as quickly at 55 as you did at 25 you are lucky because I surely do not. If you are young and can't understand this perspective, don't worry. You will someday.
