I know I'll still be working when I'm 55.

I know when Ford & GM have done them up here it was simply to get higher paid workers out to get younger (and cheaper) workers in.

Wasn't always considered bad.

It's been done before, not always a bad thing. It can clear out folks that retired in place.

This is why @ 47 (closer to 48 every day) - there is no starting over re: take classes so I can work at a help desk and crawl up the IT food chain.

wait until your older then find yourself unemployed with an obscure skill set and let me know how that goes over with the new job hunt.

Like being a real estate professional during the biggest real estate crash in US history? I know I got lucky but that doesn't mean it can't happen to other people. Just takes work and some patience.

My tongue biting was more about 47 being "old." I don't think you are quite ready for the assisted living center yet, my friend.
