I'd hire the one with the most I could learn from. That may be the 25 year old or the 50 year old. It could be either. >Better able to manage Managing someone older than one's self isn't hard as long as one's management is competent. They've likely seen a lot before. But it's easy to fool someone younger that they're being managed well. It should be a highlight for a manager that they've been able to manage and retain, even inspire, those older than themselves.
