It seems to me that ageism actually has some value.
People never got any smarter, but the nature and details of group activity have changed over time.
After a career of delivering products for boutique manufacturing companies, I'd say that my ability to pass a modern interview suite is essentially nil. My last gig for a company with modern practices taught me that it's no fun in any case as design devolves into manufacturing (perhaps for good reason).
Give me a young body, and I'd look into purposefully arcane careers with little remuneration. Blacksmithing perhaps.
