How concerned is everyone about aging in this business? I'm 42 and am worried the clock is ticking on my career between growing older and AI, I wonder what my options are.

I would go the other direction. Dust off those old Hoobastank t-shirts and start telling people you are giving up the internet for all non job related functions in life.

If you have another idea about how to make a living, do that. Until then, try to connect with those you admire, and if you don't get hired, look elsewhere. What else can we do?

Unless you own the agency, start working on your exit plan now so it’s not so painful later. I’m back in school at 49 preparing for a 2nd career. Wish I’d started sooner.

Almost 6 years in the business (internships, freelancing in-house and at agencies) and I’ve had one full time job, for 6 months.

I can’t even get into the industry, let alone worry about staying in it.

Same age and it definitely feels… scary. But what industry isn’t facing the exact same issues? Doesn’t feel like there is a safe place to run to
