Anecdote: My dad (finance/accounting guy) lost his job in his 40's and was never able to find another one.

Thankfully my mom makes enough for things to work out, and they own a piece of rental property, and my dad stashed away a lot of money for retirement while he worked (to the dismay of my mother).

Additionally, the company I work at is half (or more) people hired straight out of college which kinda makes me feel weird. It's a small company that has been around ~15 years or so, and I feel like their hiring practices would lead to their ass getting handed to them in court.

I like the people I work with, but something definitely feels wrong.
