“Experience is
just the name we give our mistakes.”
-Oscar Wilde
In
our world experience is a driving force towards a better future. It is required
in all mediums of work; from the complex work of accountants to the simplistic
job of being a bus boy. Those with the experience in their respective fields are
treated with the upmost respect in today’s working world while rookies fresh
out of college are seen as useless because they will make more mistakes than
the experienced one. This sudden need of experience is out of desperation by
the employers because they can no longer take risks in this unstable economy. As
a result, newly graduated students cannot find jobs because there are those
with more experience going for the same job because they themselves were
previously thwarted by another person with more experience in a previous attempt
to get a job. Thus, we have created a preverbal chain of unemployment.
If employers would lower their standards for a moment
they can see the value of new employees. With rookies, you can shape and mold
them into the image of your desire while with veterans; they
are set in their ways because they have been using the techniques they have learned
for years. It’s like how American’s use feet and gallons for measurement, we
have been using it for so long we can’t just change it. The bottom line is,
that allowing someone new to make mistakes will allow them to become
experienced.
