Here's a link to a story that shouldn't surprise anyone over 50 and looking for work. What will be surprising is if all this education will get all of us work....or just more debt.
Loans and grants aren't available for short-term certificate programs that might help us find work more quickly, so if you believe you need new skills, many are opting to take out loans for 2-4 year programs that will definitely add debt but only might help find a recently graduated 55 year old work!
But who reading this thinks we have a choice? Who thinks that the 30 year old interviewer will still think you're overqualified? Ah, it feels like we're 18 again right? What am I going to do with my life? I hope you make the right choice... The wrong one can still ruin your life.
