I'm 60. I'm not sure I could get another job using my own advice either.
I am working with several people trying to break into my field and it's almost impossible. Mostly because it's a bit of niche field, and almost everyone in it has decades of experience.
It's considered a second entry profession so most people did something else first. There are now diplomas and certifications for young people interested in the field. As a profession we talk about how to ladder younger people in, but struggle with what entry level looks like. A few years work experience and a professional certification just doesn't stack up in an interview against a few decades of experience.
