Baby boomers-Now is the time to get back to school. Many baby boomers are getting ready to retire- and well not really.  A lot of baby boomers are finding that it is hard to compete with the younger crowds when trying to get a job. Most boomers cannot afford to retire so they find themselves needing to get back to school in order to compete in this workforce. As I have said before with updated technology these days many current workers, including baby boomers, need to now brush up on skills that many of them have mastered for years. Who would have thought that someone with 20 plus years of lets say - appliance repair has to suddenly get back to school just to compete for his or her own job.  Where is the fairness in this? Now is the time to get back to school, before things get worse with repairs and new computers ETC. Again, try an online environment and maybe you can attend classes in your spare time. Also, ask your employer if they will let you re-hone your current skills, and I am sure that they will be receptive to you doing this. Remember do not get stuck in a rut and get used to your current work position because of the invention of some technologies many people lost jobs. Look at the grocery stores most of them have self checkouts and right there, four people lost their jobs in order to make way for such technology.
