I’ve been told by IT recruiters, you know, “off record” that my age will make it difficult to find full time work.

That’s just the facts, and I have been dealing with the facts the for over 5 years now.

The age discrimination thing is real, even you’re not asking to do heavy lifting. The potential impact on the employer’s insurance bill is part of that (until we Dems cut healthcare away from employment). You might just be in the vanguard of the new, improved, post-industrial, post-fulltime wave.
