I've heard this a few times and terrified, realizing it may be true. Has anyone seen this? do you agree?

I haven't found this to be the case in job search or career advancement. I think you see what you're looking for. If you are focused on opportunities and connecting, there is plenty to do after 50!

You should follow some of the work Jo Weech is doing and speaking about age discrimination, which I think really is important .

I consider myself fairly fortunate. I'm a psychiatric social worker where experience is valued.  I will be 58 in a couple of days (!) and I was hired for my last position when I was 54.  Although as part of our job requirement we are required to have a master's degree, in general most social workers remain grossly underpaid for the work we do.  We do this work because we love it.
