What I am talking about is the risk of being seen as a kid, not a certainy. I agree that its entirely possible no-one will care about my age. In fact, I hope that’s the case. Because when my birthday comes around I would like people to be aware of my actual age, certainly if they ask I’d like to tell them, and I think that I will, regardless of the outcome. However, saying that people who judge based on something foolish should be disregarded is a bit pointless. Noble as the sentiment may be, if it matters to my boss then it matters to me however indirectly that might be. Personally, I think judging someone based on their age instead of their ability and maturity is ridiculous. But in work, my opinion, wonderful as I may regard it to be, is irrelevant. Likewise your advice to disregard people who are not “decent�, wonderful as it may be, is irrelevant. I have made no assumptions whatsoever.

I dunno. I think the assumption that older people will treat you as a kid because you're years younger than them is a bit, well, presumptious. I know when i worked in tecnomen there was only one guy whom i worked with that was anywhere near my age, the average age in my group would have been about 30. Decent people will treat you based on merit, those who don't should just be disregarded anyway. Being seen as a kid? I dunno.
