    Age is and isn't a factor...I was hired last year at 50 in one system after
    flubbing an interview in a system that referred to the interviewee before me
    as a "sweet little thing". I am unfortunately not little and sweet is
    debateable. You must present yourself as innovative and, as we all know you
    are, dedicated. I have found that unless it is a monetary thing or a system
    riddled with nepotism that age is irrelavant. I have moved 4 time in 18 years
    and have found employment in each state...took me usually a year or less to
    do so. Expertise and enthusiasm are the key to systems that care about the
    quality of their students' education. You have both. Hang in there.
