Young Professionals Network of Jamaica

[David Mullings]

I felt that it would be good to share the website of a recently launched group in Jamaica, the Young Professionals Network of Jamaica (YPNJ).

Learn more at YPNjamaica.org

I have signed up as a member and the group describes itself in the following way:
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">We are collaboration of young professionals with an interest – whether personal or professional – in peace, justice and sustainable development.

Our membership is over 200 strong consisting of first and second generation Jamaicans living at home and in the Diaspora.</div></div>

I am 27 (born in 1981) and I take it as a compliment that I do not &quot;look young&quot; since obviously by that you mean someone who does not dress for success.

Who tell you that you don't look your age??

Why do yoy think your mode of dress is so dofferent from ours?
I thonk the statement may be more relating to the age refference. As in <span style="font-weight: bold">young</span>.

When I was your age I was teaching economics in college, and today although I am in a totally different field My former students still seek my views on economics.

I wonder why Jamaica seem to have this knock for divisions.

I find that a very odd statement and can only attribute it to the way I look in my profile picture because most people think I look younger than I actually am at business events.

More importantly, as said before, I was not aware that one can so easily determine age from a picture for most people under 40 (over 40 is usually easier BUT still no guarantee).

There is this fallacy that people at certain ages 'look' a certain way and I merely seek to correct that misconception because people tend to make the mistake of judging a book by its cover.

<span style="font-style: italic"> Now let me get out of here before she sees this.</span>

Yes she live to start fight.
On the question od determinating age base of a picture.
I as a result of my job consider myself reasonable able to asess age, even with poeople who seem young or old for their age.

It is a part of my training and a usefull tool in my practice.
Anyway back to serious discission.

Obviously &quot;jokes&quot; and &quot;sarcasm&quot; are not the easiest things to communicate in writing so it would be wise to clarify that, otherwise people take what is written seriously.

Have a nice day as well.
