RE: Gray hair and first impressions

As a relative youngster, I'm finding this thread fascinating, if depressing.

We're all familiar with the new tech writer's Catch-22 - can't get a 
job w/out experience, can't get experience w/out a job.

Apparently ten, twenty years from now when those my age are really 
qualified for those Senior Tech Writer gigs, there's going to be 
another Catch-22 - have to be old enough to *be* senior but heaven 
help you if you look it?

How delightful. I seriously thought we'd come farther than this 
already, but apparently I've been overly optimistic.
