Especially in my field, which is absolutely packed with older women; librarianship is a real growth industry, especially as it used to be a pink profession and then there was a lull with few new librarians (as women had much more extensive career options) and now it's rebounding, partly because of the options for combining a technology career with librarianship. At my job, there's a dearth of librarians between 40 and 60, and most of those in their 40s are career-changers who switched in the last 10 years.
Since we've always been (one or both) with a university, and future jobs for both us as are likely either academic or public sector, the idea of jobs without health insurance is kind of alien to me.
