Age has never bothered me. Ever. I worked with a CPA once who belonged to the firm we used for our Annual audits. I prepared the working papers each year in advance of the audit and she was assigned to me. Her name was Miki. Young enough to be my daughter. She was very knowledgeable. VERY SMART. And she taught me a lot about accounting and how to do my work during the year so that it would make year-end review a snap! I also had a boss who was the smartest person I've ever met. I think he was 20 years younger than me! I didn't care. I take information/knowledge from any source. Age is irrelevant to me. It seems to be very important to some. Is it important to you? Why?
