| Ky-anh Tran - Unfortunately, outsourcing is something every american needs to deal with, regardless of what field they may be in. Whether it be being replaced by foreigners willing to live in horrendous conditions and work for minimum wage or, computer programs that are replacing many jobs in finance and economics. I am just wondering are you approaching your 60's, or is the question simply out of curiosity?
I don't think there is a prejudice against older engineers. Most of the engineers approach retirement usually aren't in on any of the technical aspect of the business. For the most part someone in their 60's would have alot of knowledge about the business and would involved in (as stated by milki) some sort of managerial position and supervise the younger guys. Correcting errors and such. |
