Well, so what if you’re the youngest? Perhaps your company likes to hire seasoned professionals. What’s wrong with that?

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?

I suppose then you will need to go into another profession if the one you’re in is so bad. I fail to see why it’s someone else’s responsibility to retire so you or anyone else can have their job.
