Derrick, first I would like to know when being in your 30s became old. I am in my mid-30s & have worked in the insurance industry for 18 years & still love my job. I have had to work my way up to a management position after starting as a data entry person. Trust me it has not been an easy road especially as a woman in a male dominated field, but it has been worth every bit of effort I have been willing to put into it. The problem with most people beginning a career today is that they expect everything to be easy & to get it all with no effort or hard work. The world doesn't work that way.
