Unfortunately, if you are 45-55, it's fairly tough to reinvent the wheel and have any expectation of getting a good job. Even if you do go back to school and get a degree, there is going to be someone younger who will likely get the job. In other words, a lot of long-term Express employees are stuck. Many of us made the career decision to stay with FedEx at a critical age level and got burned when Fred reneged on almost everything that made the company a good place to work. Obviously, you do not understand this about FedEx.
I've never understood why some are so cavalier with other people's work. They make it sound like it's just like changing clothes. I think maybe they're used to being paid well and have a nice nest egg to fall back on and just assume we do too. For many couriers to have anything means going into debt and living paycheck to paycheck. And praying nothing serious happens.
