I’m 55 and again unemployed. It’s difficult to find a job even as a degreed and experienced professional.

Do what you can to improve yourself but...50+ is not a good place to be switching careers.

“Do what you can to improve yourself but...50+ is not a good place to be switching careers.”

True, that. But sometimes necessary anyway.

Been there, done that. A couple of times. Just don’t give up, and be prepared to be flexible. Semper Gumby!

I started with my current employer loading big industrial washing machines by hand, and did it for about 2-1/2 years before moving to a job fixing the machines, about 2-1/2 years ago. Just celebrated my 5th anniversary with them.
