One solution is for IT careers retirement age to be set @ 30 yrs. since technology changes every couple of years.<br><br>Guys beyond that age are insecure and use their positions to stifle the guys coming in from school. They r also a threat to any outside who tries to sell technology to them.<br>
<br>Once they retire @ a prime age of 30 &amp; setup their own firms, by the time their firstborns are 15, the companies are fairly large and the young ones can become CEOs. I guess that what happens in Paraguay etc. <br>
<br>Just a thought.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 5, 2011 at 5:14 PM, Peter Osotsi <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:peter.osotsi@gmail.com">peter.osotsi@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
When I completed university so long ago, I was so young no one wanted me to work with them except one mzungu headed company. The rest thought I didn&#39;t even make it past first year, despite all the transcripts. Thats our attitude.<div>
