I'm so glad that there is such a diversity of ages on this list. At
least two twenty-five year olds have told me they are getting "old"
for the industry.
Is Mick Jagger too old to rock n' roll?
I honestly think that age and experience leads to skills and
personality traits that are hard to quantify, but valuable in both
work and life. I also think this is often missed by potential
employers.

<tip type="information architecture" author="erika">
If you get to do IA with a client:
- start general, with goals & audience.
- in the early stages, encourage brainstorming, sketching,
clustering, creative and off-the-wall ideas. after that, refine.
- make sure everyone who is involved in final decisions is also
involved in the IA process. No uninformed executive decisions!
- WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING
- this process can be frustratingly slow for the client who wanted a
site yesterday. Patience and education, and perhaps a cautionary tale
or two, are key.
