...have never stood eye to eye with a grizzly bear, the bold graduate can add distinction to a Chase Manhattan application with bird calling and scat identification skills. Why wait until schmoozing with a client on a Maine hunting lease to accrue tracking abilities when a multitude of outfitters abound in the New England states? While more dainty Harvardians might disdain a mass of blood-encrusted feathers on their Prada bird bag, there's nothing quite like the primal gratification of winning a hard-fought battle with a wily fox.

But people in their 60s or 50s--and sometimes even in their 40s--still have inordinate trouble holding on to the well-paid and responsible positions they have spent long careers working up to or finding jobs commensurate with their abilities and experience. Moreover, recent court decisions have made age bias even harder to prove than at any other time during the 31 years the Age Discrimination in Employment...
