Steno General Dictation No. 480

Some people believe that due to the rapid changes occurring in modern work places, it is better to employ younger than older people. I do not believe that this is the case. One argument in support of younger employees is that older employees could be more set in their ways and potentially against any change. To an extent this may be true but there are many flexible and intelligent workers over 50, while there are inflexible and narrow-minded younger ones. Attitude towards change is a result not of age but of personality type.
