Who actually uses cash beyond feeding a vending machine? You want to make change more efficiently? All the cool kids use plastic. No thinking required for anyone.
Wrong. The older you get, the better you should be becoming. Read, study, keep up. Certify and recertify on new products. Monitor IT trends and become proficient in emerging technology.
I'm a network admin. I started as a PC screwdriver jockey, went to Novell school and became a server admin. When Novell was dying, started doing NT server work, and self-study certified MCSE when MCSE still meant something. When every monkey with a keyboard and mouse was an MCSE, I went to work for an ISP and learned UNIX admin skills, Apache, BIND, and more. When the ISP died, I got into Cisco and security.
Grow, evolve, change. Experience builds on experience, and my jobs have been getting better and better as the years roll by.
