I agree, with the problem of age discrimination. I'm 61 and am working as a temp, of course, I've been at this same place for over 2 years but they don't want to hire me permenately, then they would have to give me benefits. So at anytime without warning i could lose my job, so I feel for you. But don't give up, start looking now for something else. There are jobs out there and probably a few that respect experience.
