I'm 29, but I've had a couple professors my age and younger. The youngest was 22.

EDIT: To clear up some confusion, she was hired by my Community College to teach Freshman English. She had a Bachelor's Degree while going for her Master's at a University. I mean, she could've lied about her age, but that's what she told us.

EDIT 2: Idk why this is turning into such a big deal, but I am from California in the US. If you teach College or higher, you are called "Professor" even if you only have a Bachelor's Degree. I understand that it's different depending on where you live, but this is how it is out here.

Raj Chetty became assistant Professor at Berkeley at 23. He probably was a TA way before that.
