I've always been curious where you take your career when you get too old or don't want to do it anymore. There'd be sudden drop off in income level, which applies pressure to any who don't plan well in advance. Makes me think of professional athletes who end up broke because they didn't plan properly and no longer have the body to perform.


I know some older people in the tech sector who can't find jobs for the same reason. It's not just athletes and sex workers. :)
