I do agree with this. I find it's hard sometimes because of the 4-year career blocks - you quickly end up old, especially with a 4-year compulsory hell period. I give characters 2 skill points per 2ndary activity which they can use to increase attributes as normal for 2 points or actually put into 2 skills. One skill must be 2ndary act the other can be or can be from career. This gives a little bit more flexibility with skill choice and if I let them take hell early this means that they have a couple more skill points to diversify.
The oldest character we had was a 63 yo tanker. It was ridiculous.
