...to Experience
The challenging aspect of being in the working world in your mid- to late-20s is this:
-- You're old enough so that it's difficult to be surprised or impressed by anything.
-- You realize that many of the people overseeing you are not as smart as you are. You may be in no position to make a difference, but you have an idea; yet people above you have never even considered what seems so obvious to you.
-- No one older than 30 takes anyone under 30 seriously.
And the pay sucks.
