TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I've been here for almost 10 years - just turned 64. I just got my first
promotion and a very nice raise 2 weeks ago, but I had to fight for it for
over a year. My thinking is that management didn't want to invest a lot
more money in someone who might retire in the next few years. But
eventually they did. I don't think I'd have any luck with getting work
these days except maybe contract work.

Too old?
How many of you have found age to be a factor in getting work?
(Should've been a TECHWR-L survey...)
