With all due respect, you might want to reconsider making the age of 40 years your cutoff point. A few years back I decided to change the way I view people after all the stupidity I see on a regular basis, mostly by younger people than myself, I am in my 50’s. I realized that If I “assume” everyone I come in contact with that appears to under 40 is dumber than dirt and one of the proudest morons I have ever met, and the only thing they can do competently is put a condom on in the dark. Ya know I am right more than 90% of the time, never disappointed anymore and once in a while I actually meet someone that has a clue.

Never said 40. I don’t know where this number came from. 35 and older is who I would consider possibly mature enough for higher management duties. There are some exceptions, but rare.
