Looking younger than about 25 may be a problem at some levels of work. Appearances really do matter in this pursuit, and youth might be a handicap. I would think looking 30 wouldn't be too much of a problem. Do I remember correctly that you think of yourself as short? I have a good friend who is a ref, who feels that being short is a distinct disadvantage. But we also have a member in our association who is about 6-6 who says coaches think "If you can't do, you teach" and regard him as a washed-out player. So maybe you just can't win.
Looking young can't hurt you any worse than looking female. If we look "too feminine" we are perceived as being weak and flimsy. If we look "too butch" we are "trying to prove something" or "have a chip on our shoulder." Hint: There is no happy medium.
