Too Old for What? Ageism, Opportunity & the Fight to Be Seen

When did experience become a disadvantage?In Episode 8 of George on the Go, George takes on ageism—the assumptions, stereotypes, and barriers people can face simply because of their age.From the workplace and hiring process to entertainment, media, education, and everyday life, we examine how age can influence the way people are viewed and the opportunities they're given.But this episode is also about something bigger: reinvention.Is there really an age when you're supposed to stop pursuing a new career, earning another degree, starting a business, stepping in front of a microphone, or chasing a dream you've carried for years?George explores the legal and public-policy questions surrounding age discrimination while challenging the idea that opportunity belongs primarily to the young.Your age tells people how long you've lived. It doesn't tell them what you're still capable of becoming.
