Older people are always acknowledged for being more experienced than young people in most things. This is not true. Just because someone is old does not mean that person has more experience than a younger person in some things. Sometimes, being older older does not mean you know or have experienced everything.
I have been called an amateur at doing certain things even though I was experienced at doing them, just because I was young. There are so many young people going through these problems because unfortunately they are considered too young to be an expertise at a particular field. A 25 year old mechanic can be more experienced at fixing a spoilt car than a 40 year old mechanic. This 25 year old mechanic learnt to fix cars at age 15 while the 40 year old mechanic learnt at age 35. Yet most people would prefer the 40 year old mechanic to fix their spoilt cars because he/she is older hence they assume is more experienced.
Age should not be the reason young people are losing opportunities. We young people should be given the chance to prove our worth by our experience and not by our age.
There are so many talented young people who are experienced in so many fields than some of the older people. Sometimes our bosses refuse our help when it comes to some jobs because they assume we cannot do them. They would prefer someone older to do those jobs.
How can young people get more experience if we are constantly being pushed aside and the opportunities are given to older people who are amateurs or cannot do the jobs? If you want a generation of experienced workers, then give the opportunities to the young ones especially those that can do them.
Age does is not equivalent to experience.
