Age discrimination
Tsk, tsk, tsk Jack. Yes there is age discrimination out there. But you don't have to continue to promote it!

As an over-50s engineer and now self-employed IT Consultant (as I got rejected time after time for the going positions), I can say one thing, the older we are, the BETTER we are. The young ones THINK they know PCs, servers and networking. But they don't - for example - UNDERSTAND how the "GPS" signal indicator on their iPhones work! Or bother to take the trouble to find out. If you want something fixed PROPERLY, it's the past elbow grease that counts. Unlike other jobs, working in IT is not a job, it's a LIFE. Something that the young ones don't seem to understand.
