I'm in my early 40's and have been in electronics for more than 20 years, and things are changing rapidly there. Jobs that used to be plentiful and high paying have been sent overseas so there isn't much out there and whatever is left doesn't pay well at all. I have a good paying job now, but my company just let go of bunch of people, and most of them were old timers. No doubt they will be replaced by a younge, foreign, and therefore cheaper workforce. It's the downside of capitalism, someone always gets left holding the bag, and you are lucky if you are not one of them.
