Age in IT.

[Belinda]

What is the aversge age of programmers in IT companies you work (or worked) at? I saw lots of sites that say that average age is 25 or 28. But I want to hear the opinion of people who work as a programmer and know the age of people he works with. So, tell me please. Are there many people who are over or under 30? Are there people over 40?
