Default Re: Anyone else out of work?

Now, I am older, at 57. I entered the workforce at 17. The math says I have worked for 40 years in the work force as it is. I have been unemployed since June 28, 2008. I was a carpenter, and a supervisor of carpenters.

Now nobody wants to hire me BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN UNEMPLOYED for 4 months. I have come to the conclusion of this. But also they don't want to hire me because I am in the OLD class. I am 57, but I am very active, and in great shape. I am 6 foot tall and weigh 187. But I have grey hair, so I get by passed. Here is the deal, I have worked in construction for almost 40 years. I owned my own construction business for fifteen years.

Now nobody wants to hire me, because I am too old? WTF? Hell I can out build any 25 year old in a heart beat. This is ******** with a capital B.
