I work in a large, semiconductors company... kind of weird, for a tech company, my division has ~120 people, 110 of them are over the age of 35. (I am mid 20's) We were recently acquired, and it sounds like the target is to get younger. My industry tends to be quite mature, cause the main value are guys who have 5+ years experience, which there is an abundance of due to the tech boom in the 1990's.... but most are now in the 45-65 range, and there will be a real shortage in the next 10 years, which was one reason I'm in this field and hopefully I am in demand.
As an older guy (40's) once told me about how my industry works, they hire on demand.... its 100 people to train 1 guy right now, but when I am at the 5+ years experience, it will be 1 guy training 100 people... just the way the industry works.
