Age Discrimination in Tech - Robert Lefkowitz

There is a set of commonly held beliefs which (if true) make age discrimination in Tech perfectly logical behavior. If we wish to end age discrimination (and eventually we all do) we have to challenge those beliefs. Unfortunately, most of us are really sure that those beliefs are accurate reflections of reality. I will identify those beliefs and present evidence to debunk them.

As a 25 year IT veteran and looking for part-time work for the last two years with no success, this is the most depressing, but enlightening video I’ve seen on IT in a long time. I wish I would have known this 20 years ago before I would’ve never went into the IT tech field to begin with. It is one of the very few career fields where ageism is a real thing and experience means nothing compared to other fields like medicine, 19:17 and education,where experience is every.

I've seen this talk at the conference. It was awesome. Worth watching again.

TECH I.S. is a school that discriminates on age, they only take students who are only 40 y/o or younger.
