This is rediculous. If you want to get an MCSD at the age
of 13, you should be allowed. If someone wants to hire
someone who is 13 with an MCSD, why shouldn't they be
allowed? You would allow someone to have voting rights
for three years before being allowed to get certified?
I was 10 years old when I started writing software. If I
wanted to get certified, I shouldn't have to ask your
permission to do so. And employers shoudln't have to ask
your permission to hire me either. I'm 26 now and if I
found some kid who was ambitous enough to get certified at
13 and understood how to write basic software, I'd give
him an entry level position and teach him what he needed
to know. If you don't like the early competition, perhaps
you are in the wrong business yourself.
