Why not? The computing field *should* not be age-centric so long as one has the capability to assimilate knowledge. Me, am 30 (and a :newbie: at that) and I wouldn't have any qualms taking orders from a younger person if he/she happens to be my boss (basta ba he/she doesn't ask me to do anything out of my job description =D). I guess that's my peeve against companies that have age requirements: what happens to those who are "over-aged" but are just as competent? I think we have the advantage here in IT to break that culture of 'age-centrism' and base qualifications on merit (whatever happened to that as a basic gauge for competence?). My two cents.
