Before we get into ageism at both ends of the scale I think Kevin might be trying to point out that a mature individual with responsibilities and a bit of knowledge of the world (someone over 35) would not take the sort of s... that recent graduates are subjected to. As for PP's desire to retire those who have not progressed by the age of 25 that progression would be dependant on companies having a proper reporting and assesment system with internal training opportunities. You cannot fire someone for failing to progress if you do not provide them with the means of doing so.
The current system stinks becasue as others have pointed out we are subject to the free market and in that market our skills are not valued.
