Roberta, Hopefully, everyone -- no matter the age -- will learn important lessons such as being more resourceful, networking and being resilient.

I was taking fun classes and learning new hobbies at night once or twice a week. This admin person was at least twice my age, maybe more, and a few years away from retiring. I really wanted it because it was during an economic bust when millions were out of work and I’d learn a lot of new stuff so it’d improve my resume.

If I had more work to do and would be learning along the way, I would stay. It also looks bad on one’s resume.
