Question, do you find this true or false? If you find it true how do you handle it? I am a former NT System Administrator that was semi-retired and that wants to return to the IT field after a 10 year absence. Financially, I do not need to work but want to. I feel that the fact my health at 52 is excellent, am at the right weight etc, will be a plus in my favor.
