Chuckle, a bit 'jaded' there, eh Erdos?
After hiring many builders and proofing a 'lot' of zones I can honestly say age isn't as big a factor as the maturity level of the content or the actual caring a person shows to create something original and fun to play. I've seen work by some 'over 30s' that were poor, sick versions of Doom and works of art by 14 year olds.
Working with those that use english as a second language is definitely not an easy task but I highly recommend it. Yes, there are issues with article usage, subject/verb matching and tenses but I've found quite a few who both learn fast and contribute wonderful zones to a world. Typically, there's even a new perspective to the zone that quite a few find very attractive. By all means hire them if their ideas spark your interest but expect the zone to take longer than average to finish, at least the first one until they get the hang of it.
