Age should no longer be a factor in one’s career. Proof positive of this is the country of Georgia, where age didn’t matter when officials were chosen to fill its cabinet.

Interesting! To be fair, though, I feel compelled to point out that a 20-year-old in Georgia (we're talking about the European country that was once part of the USSR, not the state) is going to grow up very differently from a 20-year-old in America. I suspect that we're really not comparing apples to apples here.

That said, I agree that age itself does not always beget good leadership, and that experience does not always beget maturity.

That's true, things are very different there and in the U.S., and even more so in Asia (where I'm from) but I think it is at least proof positive that "youngsters" can handle high pressure positions like cabinet positions.

Good point about how age does not mean good leadership or that experience does not always beget maturity.
