Fear in a Suit
Fear in a suit walked into my office the other day.This fifty something sat in front of me and tried to sell me… I can’t remember.
I remember being filled with a horrible fear of that being me in thirty something years.
Spending my time pandering to kids half my age dressed in jeans and a t-shirt.
Working desperately to make someone else a buck and hoping I’ll eventually get thrown a bone.
Screw that.
I’ll create my own money, thank you.

I saw him the other day at the Dr.’s office. It was pretty sad to see him have to pitch some product to a Dr. that was half his age and have to walk out empty handed.
I wanted to catch him before he left the parking lot so I could share a better opportunity with him (residual income and all), but I was hung up with the parting paperwork too long.
Sad thing, really…

I once interviewed someone that was twice my age once for a programming position. I realized after that interview that programming is not something I would want to do at fiftysomething.

That makes me wonder if I will be valuable in my field in a decade. The burnout age for a graphic designer, as I see it, must be around 40 before you pigeonhole yourself as appealing to the Reader’s Digest crowd

What will be really sad is that you may some day make that old guy look like a champ.
