I work in the technology industry, namely computer programming. Nowhere is this more prevelant than in this field. I've seen these young guys and gals come in with unbelievable skills. But, at the end of the day, they miss all the attributes years of experience can bring to the table. Like research skills, risk analysis, the big picture, etc.

I think we all started as geniuses at one point, then we became wise old codgers.
