Remember, anything that make you rise can make you fall. Experience is a plus, but due to the experience, you are short-changed. Because that means you know too much (not in terms of knowledge, but handling certain issues), a big no-no.Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:Old doesn't mean cannot contriubute.

I agree with TS that in Singapore, once your age group reach the 'Old' group, the chances of getting empolyed again is considered as low as even Zero.
Now the industries need people who are young, creative, and dynamic. As a result of rapid aging population, more and more old people have lose their job because of their age.
TS's case doesn't seem surprise to me because this is the world, the cruel world. You'll be disposed once you reaches your 'expiry' date!

Unfortunately this is a true fact in Sg.Originally posted by 4getmenot:NZ-trained teacher rejected due to his age?
true fact in sg? means that teachers who are old but with many teaching experiences cannot teach? i think they should reconsider, since these teachers are hard to come by.Originally posted by pearlie27:Unfortunately this is a true fact in Sg.
