I just want to say something here, based on fact.
I work in Multimedia (primarily Video) and it's a technical field that is constantly changing (hello 4K!) and requires one to keep learning in order to stay relevant.
In my very demanding 15 years of experience so far, I've learned that age has absolutely nothing to do with skill set when it comes to technology and problem-solving. Some people just get it. I work with a guy in his 60's who is known worldwide in the field because of his smarts and his presence on social media. People in their 20's follow him in droves because he shares his knowledge.
Additionally, I'm constantly surprised at how many younger people who come through our company are actually technically inept. Some are brilliant, but some are unable to use a computer to do much beyond Facebook.
So, IMO, I call shenanigans on the idea that age has anything to do with technical ability.
I'm not even mentioning the value that experience brings! And don't get me started on work ethic :crosseyed:
This isn't directed at you personally, I just have to debunk this myth. It's so wrong.
