In my book, experience means
everything! It is the one thing that you can't get at college. I would much rather have someone that will listen to what I am trying to teach them instead of someone that thinks they already know everything.
If you think having 20+ years of experience works against you, wait until you hit 55! After 55, education or experience means nothing anymore.
The days of loyalty to the employer, and an employer's loyalty to the employee is a thing of the past. There aren't many retirement parties or gold watches given anymore.
Personally, I cashed in my chips after 41 years, and have not missed it one day

With thousands of people out of work, employers have the luxury of asking for just about any kind requirement for employment. Have any of you out there been looking for work, like me? Employers are asking for a Bachelors Degree for just about any job now. I saw ads for a drywall estimator and a paint estimator that were asking for BA's. I could almost believe that those ads could ask for an Associates Degree, but a BA? Give me a break....
