I totally understand what you mean, as I have worked with many young coders before on the MODDB. The problem is dealing with maturity, not the skill level, every young programmer I have come accross seemed to be really immature and to me was just not on the level to work professionaly. Of course one day I hope to be proven wrong, because their is nothing better than someone who is young and talented. My age restriction is just applied from past experience.
