Questions about Changes - Do younger or older people adapt more easily to changes?

IELTS Speaking Part 3 - Changes Who is more prone to change: younger or older people? Why? It’s probably older people because they may have been accustomed to doing things in a certain way and then have to, or choose to, adopt a new way of doing things.

Too many people choose a career which might be popular or offer good employment prospects, but they later find that they are trapped doing something they don't really like that much - and would prefer to be doing something different. During your working life, you will spend thousands of hours at work, you should choose something you will enjoy doing and are passionate about. After all, it'll be the biggest part of your day, every day, for the rest of your working life. If you have no idea about what you want to do - then it's a little more tricky, isn't it? You could always choose a career with good prospects, pays well, is easy, or is in dem...
