Great positive video!!! Meijer also hires older workers, no age discrimination. Illinois min wage is $14 an hour going to $15 in January.

1. Remove years of graduation from your resume. 2. Only list the most recent ten years of employment.

as a 19 year old i approve lol

if you have "know people" skills then you are good to go, otherwise security. make sure you have wifi there

So glad I found you. Many channels out there on this subject just graze the surface. I'm pushing 60 and have been a property manager for decades, just phoning it in at this point. The job had it's heyday but the past four years I've been working hard on two new careers and am only able to make side money. It's a frustrating time now especially with the job market in a tough place. Luckily the two new careers I'm building do not have an age limit.

Ageism seems like the last legal discrimination

Yeah, good video and good information. Inspiring.

Live in Noida city India above 60 need work after detailed discussion obviously hence your e mail id to send querries

Ok 👍 number 1 fan this population should listen to this hope it works

Hi, I'm 61 and I retired from my shiftwork job at our local papermill 2 yrs ago and sold our small cleaning business last year. Now I'm considering a career in real estate sales. Thanks for posting! 😊

I was able to retire at 60 from my state job after 25 years and blessed with another job at a local school 5 min from my home. I hope to stay there for at least 5 years then retire completely at 65. Thank you for your video.

59 and looking for a full time job to support myself. Age discrimination is real. Been looking for 2 months. Right hand is crippled so type with one hand. No degree and I’m about to be homeless.

I wonder if your previous employer, to some extent, deliberately created this overload work environment to get you to retire or leave the company. In this way, they bring in younger people to take the places of older ones. I've heard of such practices. Either way, I'm glad that you adjusted, adapted, and are now again happy in your work. I'm 62 and am considering going back to work in some way, because I am bored. I retired very early, but I want to be back in the game somehow. I feel like I still have something to offer, and that it's going to waste.

Hello sir, How are you? Do you need a professional TH-cam Thumbnail designer and TH-cam video SEO Expert? Let me know please Thanks

Sounds like truth

Good luck sir you are happy camper.

I am 53. I plan to change careers at 60. I plan on going into the medical field (MRI tech school). My thoughts are that when you work in the medical field no cares how old you are. In fact none of my patients will know that I am new to the field unless I tell them.

Don’t try being a pilot, aviation doesn’t want old people.

Did you get it through referral or online application? Just curious. In a job, I hate and want to make a change. Not great at networking. Introverted to the max.

Thanks for your video(s). Truly appreciate the encouragement. I've been with my current company for just over 25 years now. I'm currently 59 years old and contemplating a change. I've been in computer / network support here in a variety of roles, but have always been the primary champion of increasing our security stance - many years I was the sole supporter of security. It was seen as only a cost center. Well, eventually attitudes began to change as the inevitable result of a security incident. Suddenly things changed and I was being listened to like never before. Without going into all of it, promises were made that ultimately were not delivered. When the company finally made the decision to onboard a Chief Information Security Officer, I was not even granted an interview. I've had a few meetings with the CISO and I believe he is actually on the right track, though he's going to have immense hurdles attempting to do what needs to be done with zero experience at the position and having spent his entire career in Government. Initially I wanted to help, but as time has passed and more explicit and implicit promises made to me have again been ignored, I've decided it's not worth the aggravation to continue. I've withdrawn my support and no longer provide information / updates regarding my special interests. I've primarily acted as an early warning system given my contacts in numerous other countries and my keen insight for potential exposure. And I can continue for a while b/c it's still good money, but it's literally a DAILY GRIND to continue knowing that mid-upper management is blatantly dishonest. I could take it to the top-level management / ownership, but I feel at some level they're responsible either due to lack of knowledge / interest and / or continued support for those who clearly are not capable or honest. Considering putting myself out for hire as a fractional CISO, wherein I can provide my skills, leadership and expertise in the field to multiple companies remotely and each of them would pay a portion of my fee(s). I'm also considering changing altogether to another field. I have degrees in History and Aerospace Engineering. I also have a background in law, as well as a very creative side in music, art and writing. We'll have 4 separate income sources once retirement age fully arrives. So I just need something to keep me "off the streets" for the next 7 years. Frankly with some of the things I did in my early 20s, I could do pretty much anything and stay afloat. But I'd like to keep my wife and fur babies in the lifestyle to which they're accustomed. I'm going to check out your checklist, but I'm hoping you may have some suggestions for actually narrowing down what I really should be doing - following a "passion" or just finding the best way to pay the bills. Thanks for your help!

I’m 59-year-old woman not married adult children are living another states. I took a job with the county a few years ago thinking it would be a good move because I needed health insurance. I needed paid holidays. Paid vacation sick days things like that and the first two years I worked there I really liked my job and I was really good at it and the county decided to move me and I hated the move. I hated the job and I hated my supervisor. I was very very miserable so I asked for a transfer and I asked for a transfer back to the job that I liked Will transfer but did not put me somewhere else. Now I do have a much better supervisor and it’s an open door policy. That’s the positive but it’s way too much work. There are no boundaries. It’s a young person. Who is my supervisor which I’m really OK with in the sense that I don’t care but it seems like she doesn’t know how to sit boundaries for her employees and so everybody gets away with asking us to do their work And we’re responsible for doing it and we make a mistake. The burden is ours when it really go to somebody else cause we shouldn’t be doing their work out at least that doesn’t work, but I’m 59 years old. I was hoping I’d get some kind of pension. What do I do, I am not. do not have college or any degrees

I dont know what field i want to go into. I've been in the legal field since 2006. Feeling stuckkkk.

I need to figure this out.

I used to think so. But, if the average lifespan is ~80 or so (plus or minus a few years) I just cannot see myself retiring. Furthermore, I don’t want to spend the last years of my life doing something others want me to do… what the hell?!? It’s my life… what have I got to lose… my life, my friends, my family will not approve? I’m not getting out of here alive, so…

I can’t Thank u ENOUGH..I’m 62 and want to go to Phlebotomy School..I questioned myself over & over. I have a GREAT OUTLET of Nurse Friends.. They also helped me Thru making my decision, that I wasn’t TOO OLD, To change my Career. In January 2025,I start my classes.. I’m so Happy & Can’t WAIT… THANK YOU SO MUCH!! For letting me also feel I CAN DO THIS!!

Thank u so much

In which field this news job? Software development, data analyst or digital marketing or something else?

Any ideas or leads of people out there that are hiring people over 60? Very loyal Dependable trustworthy with a lot of customer service skills some computer skills sales Etc

Interesting video. I’ve worked in your new industry most of my life and have worn all hats in software. Yet I can’t buy an interview

I love your videos. The way you organize and present your content is helpful. You share your story, but also provide meaningful information without dragging on. I’m so glad I found your videos. Keep up the great work.

This video is done very well, Terry, I love the editing and the pacing. Excellent. Leaving a LIKE!

Thanks. I'm a retired teacher with an M.A. I've been thinking about tutoring.

I'm 51 and can't picture myself retiring in terms of quitting work and sitting around in my recliner all day watching The Price is Right. I like having something to do and some place to go!

I went straight to work out of high school and by age 20 received my Journeyman's license as an electrician. As luck would have it I applied for a job at one of the largest Aero Space research facilities in southern California. We had 54 Journeyman Electricians at that facility and a total population of about 15,000 employees total at the plant in Huntington Beach. Mostly scientist and engineers but we also had some production. My job was servicing large proprietary machine tools, escorting people into skiffs and equipment inspections. The last 10 years I was assigned to surveillance and servicing audio and Public Address systems and energy management. None of the work I did translated to anything that was valuable to getting a new job. Eventually my group was down to 11 guys and we had lots of responsibilities other than maintaining the infrastructure of the plant and that included things like heat treat calibration and surveillance. I worked 6 and 7 days a week towards the end and was swimming in money. At age 52 I was laid off and went back into construction for a couple of years and just gave up. I'm still looking for work in something other than construction but just haven't found anything. It's hot where I live and the only real jobs are residential work or installing Solar PV's. No thanks. Skin cancer sucks and so does falling off roofs.

It seems to me that Americans are nothing , but what they do for work, the deals, the career possibilities, but next to no paid holidays. Quality of life counts

Working 'til you drop - whatever floats your boat as they say.

❤ quite optimistic 🎉

Nearly 61 here and I have an interview on Tuesday for yet another career change. Worked 27 years in my previous job and realised I was just sleepwalking to my grave and with no ambition apart from taking a pay check. My last job was a complete change from the previous 27 years - designing and creating interactive learning packages and e-learns but I got requested into a new department where I have been twiddling my thumbs in frustration. Too young to retire and too old to put up with that type of nonsense so I applied for yet another career change which takes me back to my first sentence.

So glad I found your video! Liked and subscribed! I totally can relate to your concerns mentioned 😊

I’m 51 hoping to end the rat race by 60 with above $1M. I know money is a liability to be exchanged for assets with real value like real estate (properties for rent) stocks (dividends) bonds (interest) But, what is it with bitcoin? I hear a lot about it and I'd love to diversify.

I love your spirit, wisdom, energy, honesty, and your point of view! I enjoyed this video immensely!

Wow. The corporate world is where dreams go to die. That is so true for many people stuck in the rat race.

Very inspiring, thank you

Thank you.

I'm 76. I did IT contracts until I was 74. Now I write about AI.

That's cool. But I retired last year at age 56 and I have no regrets. You don't necessarily need a job to feel fulfilled. I do standup comedy as a hobby; I am trying to improve on the piano; I'm writing a play; and I still work on software projects. My previous job was as a software developer, but working on hobby projects on my own timelines is far more rewarding than doing it for work. Of course, I'm incredibly lucky to have the financial resources in place for early retirement. But whatever makes you happy, go for it!

I am 63 and my last two corporate experiences have been bad. There was so much dishonesty and disrespect and drama all around. Very distressing. I will hit all of my retirement financial goals in six months. Just trying to stick it out until then. Since my mid-50s, I have found the job market to be discriminatory in opportunities and pay. I look forward to playing guitar, walking at the beach and in the woods, becoming fluent in Spanish, and more.

Your story is impressive and inspirational. However, it is not typical. Keep in mind that so few people have your talent and intelligence,and adaptability. Most people past 50 don't have the ability to learn new skills. You are a talented engineer. Most people have nothing to offer another employer after many years in a corporate/management/bureaucratic role

I spent 3 years at General Electric in my 20s and couldn't understand what the point was. Although I worked for the medical imaging division, the work was deeply meaningless to me. I spent a couple of years struggling to find a job that fulfilled me and ended up teaching. I still love my job passionately at 64 and have never understood why people wanted to retire early. I do have many interests and hobbies outside teaching and maybe one day I'll retire. But sitting around waiting for my 10 000 remaining days to pass on a cruise ship sounds horrible.I'd rather be teaching.

Welp, better late than never. It's quite surprising a man of your age is hired on these days. Good for you. Of course keep in mind that after age 60 you typically only have 1,000 healthy weeks left. If you ever dreamed of travel, see the world, explore somewhere you might be giving away the youth of your old age to your employer. But hey, if this is really what you want to do in your last healthy days on earth then good.
