Grey Beards

[George Toft]

I was hired 10 years ago and the interviewer liked the touch of grey - 
he was looking for someone who had experience and the grey implied 
wisdom, and that's what he wanted.  As I look around my team, I would 
have to say the bell curve is solidly centered around 55.

When I turned 40, that was the kiss of death for IT - that's when I 
started my [civilian] IT career.  Like David said - it's a problem only 
if you let it.

Regards,

George Toft
