I wrote this great piece on what aging means to me but temporarily displaced it:( So, here goes again. What was really on my mind was that awhile back I read an article about pharmaceutical companies recruiting cheerleaders for their sales force. That article forced me to acknowledge my fear that I am working in a very precarious environment. You see, I work in Sales. And I am not now, nor have I ever been, a cheerleader. I have been going along my naive, merry way deluding myself into thinking I was in my current position because of my many years of rich and varied experience as a nurse. What a shocker to learn that my contemporaries are all younger than my children and with less life experience! Go figure!
I have since settled down and decided it's OK to be fifty-something. I DO have a rich and varied professional history as well as a bright, fulfilling future. Let those pharmaceutical companies hire all the 20-somethings they want, I'd rather be me.
