industry is begging for good solid mature individuals to take on positions of responsibility...including teaching those coming out of school. Cry in your beer if you want...my suggestion is to get out of the bar and quit fantasizing. The jobs are out there!

Well, now you've hit MY hot button, dude! Yer fulluva it! I've been a technical trainer, training developer, technical writer, tech pubs manager for over 25 years ON top of 10 years as an avionics tech and an engineering tech in the telecom/IT/MIS sector. I've taught cell technologies, including RF and, after sending out resumes for the past three years looking for steady jobs across the south, southeast and southwest, I can tell ya without any hesitation: 1) NO ONE is looking for experienced, reliable, mature people (I've already run up against the age discrimination) and 2) the jobs ain't there. I've talked to more recruiters than Microsoft has bugs and they tell me the same thing. Ya wanna blow smoke, pal, have at it, but don't go blowin' smoke and tell me the sun is shining.

If your being discriminated based on your age (as they told you)...I smell a justified law suit. Having said that "pal"...with an attitude like yours ...I hate to tell you this but...your going NO WHERE fast...but I guess I don't have to tell you that do I...
