Reinvented in His 60s, After 26 Jobless Months

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/29/booming/reinvented-in-his-60s-after-26-jobless-months.html

From 2001 to 2008 he was vice president of a student loan company making about $150,000 a year and also taught a few business courses at the University of Maryland. He had an M.B.A., had been previously employed by the Federal Reserve and G.A.O.; and executives in his field said he was well regarded and quite good at what he did.
The loan company gave him a $188,000 severance package, so he felt he would be fine financially. “I’d thought I’d find another job quickly and actually wind up ahead,” he said then. 

Great comment thread on this piece.
