Poll and comments.
====================
The guy I work with has been in "IT" for 21 years and he and a doctor were saying how great it is to have spent that much time in computers and how he must know more than anyone about them. Also how lucky I am to have his knowledge past on and how he probally won't be able to retire because the "kids" won't be able to learn all that he knows and get the job done.
I tried to smile and nod my head while swallowing my tounge.
=================
The truth is 18-35 is the age the IT industry is built on. Anyone that has over 10 years experience should be force to call the overage professional experience, due to the fact that networks, hardware, and software as we know them today have only been around for that long.
Who cares if you rember DOS or IBM Personal Systems 2 486 CPU? Coax for networking?
I find these guys saying, follow me and when you are my age you can be me.
I am sorry, I already make more than you and know more about what is revalent today in IT. That doesn't mean I am a better team player or professional but it does mean I am better with the tech. And it is okay for us young guys to be better at it. You old guys have everything else, customer service, experince, the list goes on.
Just asking for people to give credit where credit is due and to stop acting like there is such a thing as 21 years experience in Information Technology when IT ain't been around (as it is now being utilized) for more than about 10-15.
