I'm appalled to hear you say that there is age discrimination !!!!
However: you are absolutely correct, and some is likely salary reasons for that as well.
My family has been fortunate, I haven't been affected by any of our restructurings. And today my daughter (Dec. 2010 university graduate) leaves for a great science sales job out of state: good salary, company car, signing bonus, paid housing during training, laptop, cell.....way better starting job than most people I know have had....

I'm wondering how others are seeing the employment outlook for chromatographers. All sources I have viewed are largely devoid of job openings of any seniority. When you add to that the impossibility of selling a house in this economy so you can relocate, it looks very bleak.
