How difficult is it for a grey haired man to get a job in a new field?

One of my buddies that i go to church with was laid off(fired) with Jacobs Engineering. He was with them for 8 years and got the cut. Nobody is hiring grey haired engineers is what he told me.

He's not sure what to do. Maybe a car salesman?

He's partially correct. No one is hiring grey haired engineers with shitty attitudes.

Didn't seem that hard for Steve Martin to find jobs.

he told me that the line of work he was in just got outsourced to India. Now he can't find a job anywhere in that field because as soon as they meet him in person and see his grey hair they don't call back. Pretty sad for him.
