      Why does age matter? I really don't see why it's even a topic of discussion (other than blowing your own horn). As long as you do your job and do it well without giving talk back no one cares what age you are outside of legal issues. (18 for some things, 21 for driving for work). When people label you as "old" is when you stop learning new things, become stubborn and hardheaded and that can happen to people at any age.

      Why is everyone blowing this up? It was a straight comment. That's all.

        Maybe because this type of comment belongs more on a blog and not on a tech forum. Also, forums are much more about posting responses.

          This is a social community, not solely technical.

            So how old is everyone? C'mon, don't be shy.

            I'm 42. I was 25 when I got my first IT Manager role for a massive US company. I was flying! My career was pretty good in my twenties. But not much happened in my thirties. I don't care as I got happier, had kids and stopped working so hard. Now my kids are growing up fast and are getting more independent, I'm starting to think I need another big push.

              Nice. You're still pretty young then.

                                        From what I can tell it's not much different, but expect to attend a lot more weddings. That's the only thing besides car insurance I can see on the horizon.

                                            I'm used to it. People kind love me or hate me. It's always been that way.
