Ageism? Good Idea?

Do we really want to have old geeks in our industry? Isn’t it time we came clean with the truth and said it like it is? Older people (over 40s) working in the IT industry is like a wrinkly driving a sports car…pathetic! Buy a Volvo for Christsakes!

The oldies struggle to keep up with change. It’s a natural consequence of aging. They prattle on about how important understanding DOS is, when no-one gives a toss about DOS anymore and 90% of current IT folk don’t even know what it is!

If you were interviewing candidate for a job in network technical support, would you employ a 55 year old? Truthfully please!

It is for the young…….isn’t it?

What do you think?
