I know several factors can affect when one makes it in and there is no hard number regarding age, but I was curious as to what the average is.

Please no negative comments about "getting out while you're still young" or anything along those lines ... I'm in it for the long haul.

Thanks in advance for the responses, I appreciate it.
Ideal age - the youngest they will hire anyone at and I think that is 21 or 23.

Realistic age - really depends on lots of factors with timing, connections and luck being the best ones to have on your side. That being said I'd say late 20's to late 30's.

Average age - last I heard mid 30's
