When you get to a certain age, the work begins to thin out.
Meaning of the quote
As you get older, the number of job opportunities or projects you're offered may start to decrease. This can happen because some people may assume that older individuals have less energy or are less able to take on challenging work. However, this isn't always the case, and many older adults continue to be highly capable and productive. The quote suggests that finding work can become more difficult as you age, but it doesn't mean you can't continue to contribute in meaningful ways.
