Is college too long?

And on the flip side most of the 50 to 60 year olds Ive worked with are too old to be of any use in the office. I spend countless hours per week re-teaching these people how to use computers.

Yes, the hiring managers have told me that the key years for getting productive work out of someone is when they are ages 30-49. Younger than 30, too green and immature, 50 or above, tired and burned out.

Too long & too expensive.
