It's a matter of your complete competency. Techies and management alike can get promoted with appropriate pay with most modern, small or large companies. I am 54 and have elected to spin the consulting trail. I did so out of need after 911 shut the doors down on many opportunities in 2001. Started on the consulting trail only to find that it works. I did not want to be a JAVA developer driving a cab. Bright nimble minds with the ability to traverse the political IT jungle will always be in the loop. Age means nothing.
I have been "in the business" for over 30 years. My lifelong desire has been to educate. I have not been able to due to working "in the business" then finding out that I am un-hirable due to my past salary history. If there was one thing I could do to contribute to educating the young and needy, it is to support the "affordable" computing platform. I have and always will support it through my financial contributions. Kudos to you, you have focused on the real issue.
It's OK to put companies out of of business. Called competition. I have no affinity to any company or OS. Just let them fight it out. We all win thru technology advances. I say let it go and let the good times roll...

Hope you hit U.S. soil within the last seven years. My understanding is if you don't you will lose your citizenship.

Right on brother. Identity, identification and access accommodations are broke. Have been. You have nailed it!
