Comment of the Week:

This comment: by @trader_timmy" in the post "Is early 30s too old to start as a post MBA associate?"

Anyone saying you're too old needs to shut up because they have no clue what they're talking about. The only disadvantage you'll have is dependent on your life outside of work. If you have a wife and kids you're obviously going to have it rougher than a 26-year-old former Peace Corps member with no responsibilities outside of work. Age isn't the issue here, it's obligations and lifestyle.
