Contracts are cut short because of age all the time, uprooting families, and then they enjoy careers into their late thirties

I'm a pro player. 29 years old and been in the league for 9 years. When you turn 30, it is a belief that they player loses some coordination and becomes expendable. Also, the contracts that we sign are back loaded. When they get to the end of the deal, their salary cap number becomes so high, they have to sever ties and rely on a younger player with less experience to fill the void. It is a rough business to make a living in. It is especially tough on families. I've moved twice and it is nerve racking. Then, on the flipside, some NFL teams love the older players and they find a home for another 3 to 6 years. Its a growing trend but that is the NFL.

Well I have met some people over 40 who have had less life experiance than some 20 yr olds I know.. However since I am getting into the higher age brackets now I can see where you are comming from with alot of them.

I don't know about Canada, but in the USA they have to be 18 to be considered an adult, able to sign contracts for themselves.

WHere I live they have an agency on aging..all their employees are over 60..they drive people to doctor's appts,  etc.  Some people want older people...women who won't get pregnant or get married and leave..people with life experience who appreciate more than a teen.  Would you be able to work FULL TIME. If not do this: apply to work at the local schools...in the lunchroom or janitorial..they work a few hours a day and after 5 years here you get ret. benefits too...then you can have 2 ret. benefits. You can sub. teach..part time...Wal-mart and K-mart and places like that hire door greeters that are over a certain age.. You would be amazed at how many people will appreciate you.  you may have trouble getting hired at a factory or hospital, etc because they are afraid of you getting hurt at the job and those jobs are in demand. Very few people want to work in a school/college cafe or cleaning toilets, etc. GL

I don't know for sure but the stress and strain may wear you out sooner because I've noticed a great deal of athletes tend to die young.

Let time do the job. When you are older you will focus more on the future than the past.

It is temporary, and has to do with her age.  The closeness will come back when she settles down into her job and life.

i was in the military and i would change the pay. you have no idea of all the crap they have to go through, and a lot of them don't get to see their families for a long time. it builds a lot of character and let's you discover your limits, but it just seems like the government takes advantage of their age and inexperience by not paying enough money.

Physically you are at you best in your twenties and thirties.  Physically.  So if you base doing great things on being athletic type accomplishment then that is true.  \n\nIntellectually, that does not hold.  Experience, knowledge, research and more important things happen later in life....mental abilities do not start to decline in your twenties....not until much later.....the young do not have the experience.\n\nGreat things start to happen when a person final learns and realizes that they are not the center of things.....that comes in stages....they may intellectually know that for a long time before it really hits home and their life changes to doing for others.
