>That however is what sounds like actual age discrimination...
And? What is this article about? Do you think it's productive for older guys to cry about age discrimination when they can't find a job? All I'm saying is you play to your strengths when you're looking for a job, no matter what your situation is. And being an older guy with just a handful of years in a brand new technology is playing to your competition's strengths.
Companies that wouldn't hire an older guy as an Android programmer for $35/hr will shell out $300/hr for that same guy to teach an in-house six sigma class for two weeks. So be the six sigma guy. Does it make sense? No. Does that matter? Again, no.
>But if you assume work performance based on age, gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation, you will always be doing it wrong.
That's all very nice and totally irrelevant when you're the one looking for a job instead of the one doing the hiring.
