After high school, no one cares much about age cohort. There's no 40-50yr-old bracket at my job or in a political campaign or at a car dealership.

This just isn't true. Nobody cares, but everyone is probably closest to people their age.

Most my friends at work are about my age (or at least how old I look). This is obvious because of our career stage, which advances steadily with age.

99% of my personal friends and professional network are my age +/- 5 years, thanks to research / conference experience and career cohort effects.

When I look ahead to those jobs I hope to have, most of them are 45-55 and have peers in that age range as well.
