Your reply made me smile because it's dead on. I'm 22. Though, I don't agree. There's things to learn at all ages.

  I'm well past 2x your age, and I feel that if I didn't learn something new every day it was wasted. Nobody's claiming that there's not things to learn, but somebody doing the same job for 20 years compared to a 20-something that's just started is kind of ridiculous to think they aren't just beginning. The true sign of a 20-something is thinking they know everything because they have the book learning fresh outta school. But having 20 years on the job experience teaches you so so many more things that is never so much taught as, ahem, experienced.

    >The true sign of a 20-something is thinking they know everything because they have the book learning fresh outta school Young people between the ages of 18 and 23 are not generally doing knowledge work, they're working in cafes and bars where 1 year of experience can be as effective as 20. People between these ages should be entitled to the same minimum wage. In knowledge work, of course 20 years of experience is much more valuable than none.
