This wouldn't work unless the employer we are talking about is a software/tech company where they can hire remote/setup a office with very less money. On the other side, people who work on industries which are located on certain areas has to move there to be placed.

Yeah except the writer lives in silicon valley already. You would think his location is ideal but this speaks to the level of age discrimination in our society. And the tremendous waste of human resources.

How exactly? The author has not provided (and neither have you) any examples of how age discrimination has affected him except through vague feelings.
On the other hand, in the story alone, it's already been demonstrated that he's not really resilient in the face of adversity. Just because he gets rejected from an interview, he stops looking for a job for a few weeks? That sort of attitude will get you nowhere, no matter where you are.
