Too old at 49?

I tried my hand at "Grocery Delivery" in 2010 (when I was 43) and found I was too old, or out of shape to deliver 16,000 lbs. of goods, on a cart, down a ramp, up/down some steps, through doors, into a pantry/cooler/freezer, 300 lbs. at a time, at 3 o'clock in the morning.
Other than that, I'm just fine. And I feel like if I had started THAT job in my younger days I would have been fine too----because there are guys my age or older that do it, but they started at a younger age, and are used to it.

My question would be:

What took you so long to enter the working world in the first place? One job for 16 years, would make you 33 when you started?

 

I honestly believe that age is the least of your concerns.

Good Luck

 

I got my CDL at age 56, I'm still driving at 63 and loving it!

 

Anyone old enough to have pubic hair is too old for some of the crappy jobs this industry has.
