"Susan writes: Finding a good job is difficult. I’m 50 and convinced when people read my resume they figure I’m older than their ideal candidate. What to do? I have more experience and wisdom than 25-year olds, but won’t work for peanuts.

Susan’s story is common. But increasingly, many adults 50 and older are finding and keeping rewarding jobs. As baby boomers reach 50, few want to retire. They have 20 to 25 years of meaningful work ahead. Moreover, companies are realizing they need experienced workers to maintain productivity."
