Question
Ageism has made it difficult for me to get a job in my industry, but my family prefers I get a job. I have enough money to survive for 12 months without work. What advice would you give?
Answer
Have you considered re-training as a web developer. Lots of demand. You can easily freelance. Much of the learning is free online and in the online world it doesn't matter how old you are so long as you can write elegant code.
