Average age of everyone and modeling's life lessons?

Just a question that another disscusion provoked. Seems to me the average age is about 45 here. Most modeler's built as kids. Discovered the opposite sex and cars during their teens and early twentys. Then once they settled down in their early thirtys took up the hobby they loved as a kid. Later on I will tally the ages and post the average.

The point is we need more youth to drop the Nintendo controller and try model building. I can think of several life lessons building models teaches people. So how about it? Share your age and lesson this hobby has brought to your life.

SuppressionFire 38. Jason actually. Lesson? A significant other who doesn't support your hobby(s) soon becomes a ex. ok.. thats more advice. My latest lessons is from Larry the cable guy 'Get R done' Accept minor flaws as learning and strive to finish projects knowing the next will turn out better.
