"re-entering" the workforce at any age is still a matter of having worth. I've met plenty of older people who land sweet jobs due to being 'go getters'.

I know a gal, who went broke at around 47(she'd retired in her mid thirties doing this), started titty dancing again to build a nest egg. From there with grit, determination, and quick whit, they found other ventures that landed them some very nice corporate America jobs.

I mention this, as every time I'm whining to myself about things not being fair, I think about that gal.

You knew a 47 year old titty dancer? How old was she what she quit the second time??

So interestingly enough, the other caddy girls made fun of her for her age, but the men liked her. The younger girls never learned half the game is mental, and only knew their crass shitty behavior, and 'look at my tits'.

This worked in her favor, as she'd worked in her day at very high end clubs in Texas, where there's a whole different attitude.

She made good to better money than the ankle biters, and did it for another year, then actually through a connection in the club, a customer, made an entry level sales position in corporate America; a year after that, she was put on salary earnings averaged 100k.

If you have any sales experience, then you've got sales experience. I guess after asking dudes for money to jiggle your tits in their face, well, I'd guess selling a widget isn't too difficult. lol

That impressive. You gotta have balls to be making sales as a 47 year old titty dancer. ;-)
