As if this is something new. As you get older, it’s harder to get hired. Duh. Seems to me the prudent thing to do as you get older is make arrangements so that you don’t have to rely on someone else to give you a job. But self-reliance is much more fun to talk about than it is to actually do.
It is hard to be reliant when your business is legislated out of existence by the scum sucking politicians.
