Putting people in boxes works much of the time, but not always. If a person can provide viability and relevance to the workplace, they may get a chance to show it.

He was in his mid to late 50s. He had a heart condition and had to stop. When he went back a year later, things had changed. Most of the major contractors wanted a college degree and the ones he had worked with were now out of business or under new management that did want it.
