I would argue that this "over the hill by 30" mentality permeates a lot of things in our culture. I know I hear it a lot in the sports I am involved in (climbing, backpacking, etc.)
Yet there are at least 1-2 guys well past 30 (likely in their 50's) at the climbing gym I go to that could out climb most of us twenty-somethings. There are also a healthy number of successful entrepreneurs well past 30.
I would posit that more than anything, being "over the hill" is a frame of mind.
