Mostly, there have been a lot of really positive and constructive comments -- it's been a good discussion. Only a few were obnoxious, I just wasn't expecting them. 2.) Man, it's the truth. No way to sugar-coat it. If you're over 50 and looking for work, you're in a world of hurt. If you're over 50 and been freelancing for the last few years, you're toast. I know, there are exceptions to every rule, but I think in general, it would be hard for me to find traditional employment now. 3.) If you're not working, you're not making money. It's all the self-discipline I need. :) Susan H. > Susan - I didn't see many really hateful responses. > I was simply amazed at the NUMBER of responses....wow ! > > 3 big take-aways for me were: > 1) agencies behavior > 2) impact of age on employment by large corps > 3) self discipline requirement
