25 isn't so young, almost a decade after a person can join the workplace

It's strange to see how these days people in their twenties are expected to behave like adolescents. There was a recent NYT article gushing about how incredible it was that Obama's speech writer was only 27 whilst his peers played video games all day. By that age Darwin was already back from a five year voyage collecting samples and Einstein had written a paper on special relativity.

Luckily the HN community expects us to do something worthwhile regardless of age.
