A friend who is 63 is an engineer with a master degree but no one is hiring him due to his age, any advice?

Great ideas thank you!
as soon as he says his age they tell him good luck!
He is about to give up and work as a taxi driver!

@DrMike In my state, age discrimination is prohibited in the state constitution but I have no idea how or even if it can be enforced. They are not even supposed to ask what your age is.

Anyone with a master's degree in a science is smart, educated and thus employable in many non-science fields. Financial companies look for people with degrees in science, engineering and math just because they know they are smart. So maybe he can find a job in another field. He is certainly trainable. Driving a taxi is something that he should never have to do.

@DrMike They think he will retire soon. It is not that he is old it is that he is close to retirement age.

@JaggedLittlePill Well maybe contract or consulting work.

@quitwhendone I think those would be good options

@JaggedLittlePill Oh yea true
