What do people think about self employed vs age?
Im 24 now so this may effect me in a year or so and it may not depending what happens in the foreseeable future but for younger tilers looking to go self employed, will it be more of a struggle?
If i was to get a few quotes for a job and say one of them turned up and only looked about 20, then the next turned up but they were in there mid 40s and they quoted me the same amount for the job, both looked respectable etc... You would lean towards the person in there mid 40s right?. Could argue the case that the older of the two would prob be better due to experience and knowlege. But it might not be the case, the young lad could be very good and been doing it from 16 or younger working for someone very good and the man in his 40s could of learned a little over a short time but be useless.
So do you think age is a factor when getting self employed jobs at a young age?
