> I know someone who was advising a central bank, aged 22. I know a young consultant who, while consulting for a company during an internship (place by a big consulting company), saved the client millions in shipping costs. Do you find that, say, the ECB did a particularly stellar job with the Euro? A currency that's in trouble since it was created? (do not forget that Greece already partially defaulted on its public debt). When I hear someone like Christine Lagarde speak she doesn't strike me as someone particularly smart: just a regular politician doing what politicians do best (i.e. aim for well paying jobs). Typical french political career: we're not exactly talking about rocket scientist here (despite what mainstream media shall write about her). I'm pretty sure a smart 22 y/o can be helpful.
