Why? In Portugal we finish our 5 year engineering university degrees at the age of 23.

I think thinking about operating systems is precisely the sort of thing 23 year old college students do. I know a few in my class did, I was hyped up by MS's Singularity OS back then. Unfortunately they were not aware yet that Windows was going to lose the Server OS war and they never pulled Singularity out of research. Operating Systems is a 2nd year course in most universities.
