Thanks. I'm aware it's always an option, but I've been lucky so far to never be in a position where I need that job. The greater implication of my post, IMO, is that as I age I'm more experienced but less attractive to some employers solely based on my age. I already look about five years older than I am, so perhaps my career will be much more short-lived than I anticipate and I will have no say in it. That actually terrifies me.
