yea, I am 57 I have been looking for a job since I was laid off over 2.5 years ago. I cannot imagine someone older than myself being hired by anyone.
It’s horrendous. Health insurance premiums based on average employee age are killing off the the job market for those over 40...35...30. Carousel anyone? Or to the Soylent green factory for the rest of us.
Is being a burglar a career? Like I will be doing software development in my 70’s.

NO.
You should get full retirement benes.
Anyone under the age of 50 really can’t expect to receive it and should be planning.
Oh, and I’m 49.
I count my lucky stars...laid off last year at 60 and back to work 8 weeks later. Even was able to bank part of a severance package. Keep on learning and mastering new skills. Maintain your network. It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there.
