People underestimate the wisdom of the old.

Life experience is becoming less important than education.

I'm all for having a good education, but not everyone in their lifetime could afford earning a college degree. Then it gets to a point when the world sees them as incompatent, gladly choosing a young person FRESH out of college first for a job.

I'll tell you what though, I've been plenty intimidated by reading resumes that say 20 years of work experience, because I know that in any job I desire, I have to be trained by someone with experience, no matter how many degrees I earn.

So why does the world take the life experience of others for granted?
