Sparky, if I might interject an outside bystander's perspective...
however it saddens me that you feel regret for being in this business..
Good luck. |
Maybe just misunderstood. I don't regret a single minute of being in this trade.
what I regret is that after 35 years I have to hide the fact from prospective employers so that they won't think I'm burnt out and have no more years left in me 
My wife and the agencies I'm listed with keep telling me to try and cut at least 10 years off the experience or start with 1980 not 1970. I got a haircut yesterday and :roll: (hate to admit it) even got some "Just for Men" so I might look 10 years younger.
It's what you need to do, to get anywhere in the younger jiob market :wink: |
I totally know what you mean, there is a definate phenom. that some companies view us "experienced" folk as inflexable and expensive as compared to a "less experienced" prospective that is cheaper and can be molded without friction. And I'm sure that CAN be true. But I personally (of course!) believe that we benefit from our longevous employees and I can't stand (most of) the attitude/work ethic of the "kids from school"
