The age group where people aren't thinking so much about declining health or retiring.

I remember being young and actually trying to move to the states. I had a job lined up right out of university in Colorado. I won the competition and was arranging the move and legalities until I was notified that one of the other candidates had contested it and later the offer was pulled. I didn't get the full scoop about what happened, but I believe it was because they were hiring a non-American and the employer needed to demonstrate that an American in the competition wasn't at least minimally qualified even if there was someone better. I had an interview in Houston as well, but didn't end up getting an offer.

Anyway, no regrets now at this point in my life knowing what I know now. I probably dodged a bullet there, figuratively and maybe literally.
