And how is this supposed to be worse than hiring a series of youngsters, each not yet knowing how any company works, and then replace'em when they are just begi

  Why would you replace them when they "get a clue"? I really don't understand what everyone here is on about, including the downvoters. The parent asserted there is nothing disqualifying an older person from being hired. I gave one reason, essentially that health declines when you age. No one refuted my point, yet I get downvoted to oblivion. It kind of says something about older people if this is how they respond to critical thinking. I can't say that this sort of response is unexpected, though, given my experiences with the older generations. They tend to be short tempered and unwilling to consider alternative evidence to their (foregone?) conclusions. I guess that's another reason to avoid hiring older workers. They're likely to have a lot of hubris.
