"nobody takes you seriously as an adult and therefore will not give you opportunities to excel and advance until you are 35 or so"

That's been my experience, I just started getting opportunities when I hit 35. Now I'm turning 37 in a few months.

Not sure if the "peer victim" theory is correct however. I see it as more of a hierarchical thing, a seniority thing, where you cannot be granted an opportunity until you've paid your dues. Occasionally a youth breaks through this wall, usually the result of having inside connections through their parents, or by inventing something brilliant and selling it.
