I'm young--a few months past 22--and I'm totally under the impression that my chances of "making it" before I'm 30, are incredibly slim. I mean, I think part of it is that finding success as a creative *maker* takes a lot more work and pratice than we're willing to admit, even with the internet and all of the great technology that makes this easier, I think 10-20 years isn't *that* long... But then what do I know, I'm just a kid. heh. ;) That’s strange. I’m young–a few months past 22–and I’m totally under the impression that my chances of “making it” before I’m 30, are incredibly slim.

Personally my suspicion is that the media "cult of youth" certainly has a hand in this matter; creative success is frequently portrayed as the province of the young and attractive. Maybe Sven's right, and there's a conspiracy at work... I think you might be on to something there, Dave.

In a general sense, children are more receptive to their environment and to crazy ideas, making them more likely to be creative, and the older you get the harder it is to get back there. It comes easily to children, whereas adults have to work at it. I can understand how someone would make the erroneous assumption that, just like creativity, creative careers are for the young.
