It really makes me angry when I read and hear about the many talented, dynamic, experienced people who have been led to pasture because they made the mistake of becoming one day older today than yesterday.

My blood really starts boiling when somebody glibly says take anything that’s offered or other nonsense. Why should a capable executive be downsized to a clerk just because they have a few wrinkles or grey hairs? They still have the talent, drive, knowledge and more importantly the wisdom of experience. Why should a qualified woman with a Master degree and pursuing a CPA become invisible in the job search?

I’ve assigned myself the mission of documenting how other Boomers have faced a career or other disaster in their life and managed to bounce back. I’ll be doing this through a new web site and a book (I have two books published) and will be looking for success stories to speak with. If you, or somebody you know, has as much grey in their hair as they do common sense, have made the bounce back transition, I’d like to speak with them.I’m in the process of putting together a new web site that will focus on this issue and should launch mid December. It will be at http://BoomersNextStep.com.

I have a Master’s degree and also am studying for the CPA exam.
