agreed, I had a rough time of it, I started working in computing at 13 and only got the job because my mom hired me to automate data entry at the local college.
I was actually pretty lucky to be able to work with the places that I have, but it was a lot of applying everywhere and hoping they didn't ask how old I was on the phone interview.
I actually had to grow a beard before people stopped asking me how old I was and focused on asking me technical questions :D
it does seem to be taking a turn, I have seen a lot of kids hanging out at the local tinker mill working on cool projects and talking about starting their own companies. which seems like a much more accessible thing than it was when I was a kid.
