Well, so what if you’re the youngest? Perhaps your company likes to hire seasoned professionals. What’s wrong with that? I think businesses should be able to hire whomever they choose.

So where is the next batch of 'seasoned professionals' coming from?
Really, if your 'bright young talent' is in its 40s, it's over. I'm talking about engineering, aerospace and defense--it's become a geriatric endeavor with no new talent replacing the retirees. Furthermore, as oldsters hang onto their jobs unto death there are no positions and no budget to hire the next generation of professionals.
So, who will I supervise as I move up the (now nonexistant) promotion ladder?
