Office Youth
As I was lost in thought today in the office, for my headache was somewhat severe, I realized that I am the youngest person around. Do not mistake my colleagues for being old, they are mostly young people. I just happen to be the youngest.
To divert my attention from my throbbing head, I gave the matter more thought. It was then that I realized that I have always been the youngest person in every work environment that employed me. I also remembered always being mistaken for being older than I really am, it must be another common spelling mistake.
Fascinating, isn’t it? At least I think it is. Truly fascinating – but fascinating things are short-lived. In the near future there will be younger people around, with their inexplicable jargon and fresh perspectives on life and ethics – oh how the same they all are!
Hah!

Tololy,<br /><br />I have been in the exact same situation for a long while and I am unhappy to tell you that it works to your disadvantage on the long run.<br /><br />Currently I go to meetings of my peers (position wise) and at this level they are mostly people with grey hair and children your age.<br /><br />And though I do have a grey hair (yes, one so far), I am by no means a match for the majority of people in similar positions as mine or at least the people I have to work with on daily basis.<br /><br />The higher you go the more politics you have to deal with. And as a result age takes precedence of actual experience. Which is frustrating.<br /><br />Getting-in young and climbing up the ladder quickly may not be a very good thing.<br />
