    Everything gets harder and social expectations on you just grow and grow. By your 40’s you’re expected to have a set of skills and work experience that would qualify you for being hired for specific roles and positions, so it’s hard as hell to get an entry-level job literally anywhere, when there are younger and more energetic people applying for the same positions, people who are willing to work for less and put up with more.

    Ageism is real and it’s everywhere and nobody really talks about it because everyone shares the same attitudes. It’s one of the last socially acceptable discriminations.
