A more heinous position that I know some older folks are in is that they've received enough pay increases over their 20 years that switching to an entry level position is actually a pay cut. Often that pay cut would be enough that they couldn't pay their bills, so they're effectively stuck in the same job they've always had.
- bane 12y agoCareer changing is very hard. Often if you want to switch, your skill level actually is at an entry level. But convincing somebody to hire a 40-60 year old at an entry level job, even if they're more than qualified, is pretty tough.
- opendais 12y agoYa, a career change wouldn't happen for me. I like making things enough that I'm just as happy now as I was when I was tinkering with stuff in high school. I think career changes really require starting over because your experience isn't 100% translatable.
