Thanks for this. I had the exact same thought when I read it. After a brief moment of offense. I think I could write an essay or several on the ridiculous misconceptions I hear going around in some circles, and this is one of my favorites. When you hit 30, have a kid, etc., the popular ideology in some circles seems to be that somehow your ability to spend time working on your passion is gone. It's been my experience that this bracket is, on the other hand, more efficient, selective in their projects, determined, and shows a remarkable intolerance for wasted time. It's extra amusing to me, also, that the major culprits of these stereotypes are older men who routinely tell this to the young as they break into the industry. I wonder if it's a deliberate attempt to light a fire under these young folks?
