Re: Ageism
I'm 50 and my boss is 26! Same age as my oldest son... he lacks maturity at times...at others you'd think he was old!!!

Re: Ageism
Well as the majority of jobs I am applying for are down your way...I think there may be a good chance of me passing by. Actually waitng for a yay or a nay on a job interview I went for in Brampton.
Oh and just turned 47 not 48.... 48 sounds so much older!
I think my heart and soul is a lot younger though.

Re turning 47. I was quite content with the late 40s. But OMG hitting the big 5-0 this year was a total shock (yeah I know, like I didn't know it was coming!). It just seems sooo old! 51 isn't that far away. Doesn't sound so bad somehow!

Re: Ageism
My boss is younger than me by 8 months and her boss is younger than her by 3 months so we are all roughly 42. For that I am grateful.

Re: Ageism
Will keep fingers and toes crossed for you re the Brampton job. Brampton is a soulless place but there are some lovely little towns around it worth checking out to live in.

Thanks DandNHill, I liked the company that interviewed me in Brampton....so Im hoping something comes of that, I had a positive reply to my follow up email. Wel'l see. I have to agree Brampton does seem rather souless, a great description, but as you say nearby towns that are nice places to live...
As for age....I was mortified about turning 40...even 2 years before I was stressing about it! lol Now I don't care anymore, 40 was the 'old' milestone to me, so it doesn't matter to me now. I still behave a lot younger!

Compared to just about everyone we know, we are not experiencing the same things in life, some we desire, some we don't.

Re: Ageism
Reading this thread it seems to me that a lot of you missed that teenage obsession with existentialism.

The kid thing really isn't within our control, higher powers decided for us, although with a lotto win, science could fix that...

As for age if you hang out with us you'll feel young! Lol
