What`s the big deal? It doesn`t really matter how old are you - I started my
CCNA studies when I was 15, got CCIE R&S when 20. Now, at 21, I have about 5
years in the field and absolutely no problem with anyone accepting me as a
"normal" expert. Currently studying for a B.Sc. and CCSP (CCIE - Sec in the
long run).
Note: I took my first job when I was 13, so I think it may be a matter of
some work experience as well.
Regards,
Teodor
