@debbie.hartmann.c: You're too old to get hired, too young to retire. At 50, companies see you as expensive deadweight. At 55, they're planning your exit. What's your plan when they show you the door? You think your 20 years of experience makes you valuable? Companies want cheap, desperate and mouldable. You're experienced, expensive and opinionated. That makes you unemployable. Age discrimination is real and legal in South Africa. They'll never say "you're too old," they'll say "we found a better fit." Translation: someone half your age for half your salary. My 52 year old client got "restructured" after 18 years. Couldn't find another corporate job for 8 months. Now she makes R18,000 monthly as a business consultant. Her age is an asset, not a liability. Stop depending on employers who see your experience as expensive baggage. Start building a business where your wisdom is your competitive advantage. Work with me and turn your experience into income. Book a call - link in bio. DM me "EXPERIENCE" and let's monetize your wisdom. #braveleap #startabusiness #toooldtohire #tooyoungtoretire #agediscrimination #may2026 #corporateexit #entrepreneurship #womenentrepreneurs #southafricanbusiness #businesscoach#monetizewisdom
