[quote=Anonymous]OP - I think I get where you're coming from. I'm also younger than average for DC when it comes to being married and having a child. I'm in my late 20s and everyone assumes I'm in my mid-30s, not because of how I look, but because of where I'm at in life. (Prior to having a baby, everyone thought I was the intern.) When people assume my age, I don't correct them and I'm happy to have them think I'm older. I cover a rather high level portfolio at work and the more senior people think I am, and the more seriously they take my opinion, the better. I'm not being dishonest - no one out right asks my age and it would inappropriate of me to bring it up - but I do make the best of their assumptions and speak with authority. I say go for it! If people want to assume things about you, you're not doing anything wrong and if it advances your career to be perceived as older, then why correct it?[/quote]
