The thinking is the older person won't be in the job as long as the younger person (potentially), they won't want the same pay (they'll want more) or the young person won't get the same pay as the older person (based on experience and qualifications) and because of that experience and such, they're harder to "mold" and are more set in their ways and less easily "controlled" than younger people. Plus, due to their experience, if they're older and better qualified than the boss, they feel threatened by that older employee's possible future moves within their company (the bugger will end up with my job scenario). Younger ones resent the fact they can't get the jobs because the oldies already have them.
Funny thing is, most older people would just be happy to settle for what work they can get.
