That is one way the job market is unfair...you can be experienced but without a piece of paper you can't get hired. That's why a lot of people go back to school when they're older...for the paper to prove they know their stuff. Don't let your age discourage you from trying. I keep in touch with another student who was in his 50s. He got his degree and it got him hired as a manager making a lot more money. My husband has done all kinds of low paying jobs. He's 40 and has gone back to get his doctorate. He's gone from a lowly potato inspector at a factory to an almost Dr. with more respect and hopefully a lot more money when he graduates. It's never too late to change the course of your life if you are unhappy. Glad to see you writing again! I miss your fiction. And damn! 4050 SP!

Unfortunately money is a factor in everything including going back to school. I was able to afford my associates but the bachelors is crazy expensive. Everyone I went to school with is rich, sometimes one of those girls will hit me up because I was popular in high school and I'll tell them something like I can take you out for a $2 cup of coffee if you want but we can't go to Starbucks.... it's out of my price range. It goes over real well. Yeah I converted my LTC to Steem the other day when Bittrex seemed to be having a fire sale on Steem for $1.20 and I managed to get 1200 or so Steem out of that deal.
