Well said. Especially for someone that went through college and more importantly 4 years of extensive IT training (in which I assume most books are mainly written in English), I doubt that you paid any attention whilst in college. So I too think either age of occupation has been altered in order to create a more "legit" story, for some reason.
I've just had an awareness training on GD-PR, talk about a coincidence, ha ha. Stuff gets tricky when you store data overseas though, but for now if everything is EU (or EEA rather) your data should be safe (if proper procedures are followed).
