like it or not, this is how they gauge. Pretty much for a manager positon you need someone with vast years of experience on the field. lets say there are alot of applicants, don't tell me you will need to interview all esp the kids where by the job scope is critical in the company. I'm not saying there aren't any good manager in kids but there are more potential managers on the elderly as they have gone through hardship and problem solving during their working years. You know time is money and if possible you would want to find the perfect man for the job. so screening applicant isn't that easy. Just think about it, how would you feel if you're a mid 30 age person and undergo a class conducted by a 9 year old kid? oh yeah, and he/she is a genius. put yourself into scenario.

yup
