30?
The oldest contractor I have worked with was 63.
There are certain to be some of 23 or so.
I know many (doing what I do) who are 40 plus, in fact I think that they make up the majority, but I doubt that there are many in the city of that age.

Surely the answer is 27/28 on the basis that anyone under 25 probably hasn't got enough experience to go Contracting properly, and once you are over 30 you are qualified to be a "Consultant".Guy Fawkes - "The last man to enter Parliament with honourable intentions."Comment

I am sure I benefit from my experienced look, I am 36 but I've only been in the IT Support game for 5 years and contracting for 4 years.
When I first turned up here I was introduced to the boss as the consultant who was going to solve all of their problems... I was laughing on the inside!Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
