Look at the woman in the following photos.
She is an editor for Huffpost50. Yes you read that right. She is writing articles geared towards an age group she won’t see for probably 20 plus years. I am sure she is a capable writer and editor but we face AGE DISCRIMINATION everyday and even more so if you are female.
I was a “domestic engineer” for 30 years until my ex decided he needed someone younger. I’ve been unemployed since the divorce, January 2013. I’ve applied for every kind of job you can imagine with no luck. Now imagine I feel, along with the millions of women who are over 50, learning one of the editors could be our daughter or granddaughter.
Age discrimination is one of the last forms of discrimination still accepted. It needs to stop.
My life on an unexpected path 
That is so true and it is a shame that older people get the shaft, so to speak. Our society is all about the younger generation. They forget that they were young once. They too will feel it to one day, if that’s any conciliation, but it’s not. They also forgot that the older generation was the ones whom taught them. It’s a vicious cycle and it won’t change unless it is knocked down, which it will not happen.
