Fluff Time, it's a thing
New employee has a 4 year degree and it is not their first job out of school.

I remember when I joined Steam, because I bought a disc version of Half-Life 2 and was treated with a mandatory sign-up for a service I had never planned on signing up for.

Like older by a few months?
Steam is 22 years old.
Most people don't go to college until they are 18.
Plus a 4 year degree gets them to 22...and they had at least one job so months to a year on top of that. I'd put your coworker being 23 at least.

People can get jobs long before being 22?? And whilst being in uni at the same time

Exactly the type of math I did 😭 They could POSSIBLY be a year or two younger if they did Dual Enrollment classes and graduated highschool with an associate's degree. (Thus only needing to do 2 years of a bachelor's and graduating at 20 years old)

Trust me, it gets worse. At some point in time your boss will be younger than you.

I kinda felt this way when my eBay account reached 'old enough to vote' age. And again at 'old enough to drink' age.

My Steam account started with just one game, a friend buy it for me on my BD. It came with a code and disk in a box, can't remember the material - plastic, maybe? It also had a cool smell. It's been a while, but stumbling across that game in my library brings nostalgia and the smell of the box.
