America's big industry is gone. Our large white collar corporations are leaving as soon as the eat up the pension money of their employees. All domestic air travel might soon go out of business due to the economic trend. There are really only three companies left in this land: WalMart, McDonalds, & Microsoft.
A college degree plus 30 years of experience is worth NOTHING all over this country! As more and more people become permanently unemployed the working population will refuse to bear the cost of food and shelter for them tens of millions of our extended families mostly educated elders will live and die on the streets. True or False?

This is false because many people that are over 50 are retired and have full benefits from their previous employer. This makes them more attractive to many companies because they hire them part time and pay them more, since they don't have to pay them the very expensive medical and retirement benefits that they have to pay younger workers. They are also more loyal workers with vast experience that do not need much training to do their jobs. If they get hired in their fields they simply make rings around others with little experience. Unless the jobs are extremely physical, the older workers have most of the advantages needed to hold a job, and employers, being greedy by nature, are well aware of this. Most older workers do not need to worry about their bills, because most of them already have incomes that they just want to supplement. They are actually in a position to ask more from an employer because they don"t really need it as bad and they are so employable these days....KECK

Well, happy camper, I think the economic picture is not as grim as you paint it. We are changing into a global economic community, and are being asked to lower our high union wages to match those of our neighbors abroad, to remain competitive.

People over 50 still need to eat, buy health care, have entertainment, and a host of other things they have become accustomed to. There is no room for age discrimination in my economic picture.

People over 50 have better work ethics than the young punks that are trying to enter the workforce at the top of the pay scale these days. I hire "older folks" in my remodeling business just for these reasons.

If the youth of today would recognize the folly of their unsustainable, greedy little ways, they might last half as long in the workforce, and be half as successful as their forefathers and (Foremothers)!

Older workers are considered a premium in some industries. They are more dependable and have a better work ethic than some of the younger workers. In other industries, they are considered a liability since younger employees can be employed for much less.

Well, in your case, if it's true, then just go shoot yourself and die.

I'm 45, and looking at another career change. I figure that I've got another 35 years of work left in me, and I know that my computer career won't go that long.

If nothing else, I'll get a job as a funeral home director, taking care of people who shoot themselves at age 50 out of despair. Death will always pay.

llllllllll STUPID QUESTION VIOLATION lllllllll
YOU ARE IN VIOLATION OF ASKING A STUPID QUESTION!
ANY FURTHER STUPIDITY WILL RESULT IN BRAIN DAMAGE
AND YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO STOP NOW.

Have you been in a coma the last three years? The economy-thanks to the older crowd- has been more industrious because of older people with educations managing once failing industry.
