Thanks for your tip about that law on age discrimination for employment. However, I don't know how we can deal with the issue easily since most employers already post an age bracket they prefer on their ads even before you can apply. I am 39... not yet 40 but I'm already finding it hard to really look for a job. I promised myself that I would only look for work or start a career once my youngest daughter turns 5 years old. I had this idea that I had to secure my kids' first 5 years of life before I really get a job. However, I am finding it difficult to look for one not only because of the age bracket but also the skills attached to the requirements for good paying jobs. I guess the only really good option for me would be a business but that gets me stuck too because I don't have the capital to build one that would be able to generate the income I need. Wow!
