At nearly 42, I recently started a new CD in one of the bigger ad agencies here. At one point I was starting to worry, cos I know this game is for the kids, but I managed.
Don't know how long I'll keep this up for though; I've been looking at my life and really asking myself if this is what I want to devote 8 hours of each day or more to.
Yay, existential crises.

- I spoke with a recruitment agent once that told me lot of agencies go for <40 CD as they want the youth/trend to be creative face of their company.dee-dubs
