Your age

We have being debating in our practise your age and its effect on your career.
I am 46 and went through a career change in 2009 but have experience of business since 1999.
The younger guys in our practise seem to think when they get to my age that they will be semi retired or chilling, but I seem to be working the opposite. Do us older guys and gals run out of time or is accountancy which I think, like a good wine that age actually helps you. Some of my younger work mates have poor life skills and experience imo.
Just interested in what the opinion is on here, what I hear some time times concerns me, p.s I am told I look 35 and people don't believe me when I say I am 46.
