While I'm sure there are some 40-something's that are like the above, I don't know of many - most people I work with are 35-45, are very hard working, innovative, highly motivated, always learning new things, and work a lot.
Lots of younger people I work with party a lot (and are hung over lots), distracted constantly, aren't at all loyal, are constantly distracted by the shiny new toys, and super arrogant
(and YES, I am purposely using a bad stereotype, just like a lot of the posts here are in the other direction. One thing experience has taught me is to NOT stereotype based on meaningless things like sex, race, or age - look at what someone can do - passion, drive creativity, intelligence, etc. If you base your decisions on foolish stereotypes, in either direction, you are just limiting yourself and your company)
