Well than i disagree with you. I think it all depends on the person if its something like an interests(like SW for instance)
But if i was an adult i wouldnt go to some kid asking them for advice about marriage and stuff like that, But i would go to a teen-young age about new technologies that come out.
So yeah i pretty much agree with what most of the adults said.

Pffffffffffttttt ........ kids still think they're know it all about life and such ....
Granted some can be knowledgable with certain things. We were all teenagers once ourselves but we did act that way at one time or another. Just you wait until you're an adult and have teens of your own. What comes around, goes around ...

So I guess quite a bit happened since my last post...heh.
Anyway, as zeke92 was so accurately demonstrating, sometimes kids are a bit too arrogant to really listen to. Even if they know something, it's often that they want to shove it in other people's face that they know it....hell, I did the same thing when I was his age, I'm sure. You grow up and learn how to be more humble along the way, as you get knocked down in the real work over and over (which happens in some industries more so than others). I don't mean this to flame zeke92, just using it as a perfect example.
So, if I personally need some information that someone of almost any age might know, I'll ask simple "test" questions, of which I already know the answers to, just to gauge their responses. I'm often surprised by many younger people and their level of knowledge, even at my LFS, where they have quite a few young employees. This Q&A method seems to help weed out the BS from the good advice/information.

Um, yeah, they do worry about a tax certificate. At least they should if they are LEGAL (that being the key word) business.

Yup. In PA you need to get the tax certificate to start your business name. And you need a business name to operate legally, unless your business name includes your own name and is a sole proprietorship. In the later case, one would file their annual taxes with the business data along with their own personal income taxes, otherwise they're not a legal entity. So, if you don't have a tax certificate, or you're not filing your earnings as a sole proprietorship along with your personal income taxes, then you're not legal. There are also special considerations in PA for selling anything "living", meaning plants or animals. You need a license to do that, I just can remember which department that license needs filed with, it's been a while since I looked into starting my own business.

I find it interesting that people typically think age only plays a role in teenagers. I still find age in issue years later. It was a big problem when I managed a 4 star restaraunt a couple years ago, but only with people who only ever ate there once or twice because they thought there was no way someone so young could be in charge of such a place. The regulars loved me as they had known me for about 5 years. (I started working there washing dishes as a teenager and then did the old fasion thing and through hardwork got my way up to front of house manager)
Even now that i'm in my mid 20's and work in real estate I still find that people tend to hold my age against me.The best way around this I have always found though is to know your business inside and out. People love it when the sales person they are talking to can not only sell them a house and ramble off sales figures but then can also sit there and explain how their house is actualy going to be built from start to finish. Also I tend to dress a lot nicer than I have to by our dress code, there really is something behind the dress to impress notion. People tend to take you a lot more seriously when you are wearing a suit.
Just my two cents, there has always been age discrimination towards young people. It has gotten a lot better I would say in the last decade, but it will always be there. Its up to the individual to work and get around it.
