Unfortunately.... - Teachers discussion
That's great advice, G. You sound like you have some great years ahead. Too bad some of those you run into are gonna make you miss out on great experiences
simply because you're 'old' in their eyes.
Yes, keeping one's eyes looking dead ahead is probably best.
But it's tough.
I'm on the doorstep of 40, and already I've seen people turn their noses up at me because of my age. When our own personal success depends (unfortunately) a LOT on others and their opinions of us, you bet some of us are gonna resent being marginalized just because of our age. I sure as hell would/am. Yeah, I already know it's coming. Kicking older people to the curb is the path of least resistance, I guess. I already am getting pissed of, you better believe it.
What I'd give for a perfect world.
