1. Would you be offended if someone guessed you were 7 years older than you are?
Oh hell yes.
2. Do you think people assume "professionals" have to be older than 24?
yeah definitely. here, most people don't finish University until they are around that age. then again, other's start working at 18, so you'll never know.
3. What would you do if someone guessed that far off on your age?
Pretend that it's okay and secretly plan my suicide.
4. Is it better to be perceived as your actual age, or to be perceived as older/more mature? Is it better to be perceived as younger?
I prefer to be perceived as younger, which is usually the case, thank God.
5. I should just get over it, and realize that one guy is bad at guessing ages... right?
True

In the US you're supposed to graduate college at 22.

Or 21, surely, assuming one was born after May? *NM*

If they turn 22 later that year, I'm counting them as 22. Just a little rounding. *NM*

I try to hold off on aging... it's odd to be still in my BA while 24 years old.

Especially since I had already earned my MA by 23

That hasn't been my experience. There are many 1 year MA programs now.
