As we go through life, we obviously are faced with both judgement calls and different experiences. We can benefit greatly if we learn from our experiences and better our future. Our experiences can lead us to have better judgement about certain situations. Experience and judgement go hand in hand in my book.

I liked this video. He says that judgment is more important than experience. I think the combination of the two is the best way to make a decision because making a mistake is only as good as recovering from it and deciding differently in the future. His delivery was also entertaining and to the point. I enjoyed listening to Mike's thought on the subject matter very much.

Experience over judgement is hands down the winner every time. Say someone is building your house and they have only been in this field for 6 months but you trust their judgement. On the other hand you have a contractor who has done this their whole life. Which one would you choice. Of course experience wins every time, this is how you get a high paying job from experience in the market place.

Well I don't believe the actual experiences we have or mistakes we make matter either, but the way in which we move forward from our mistakes is what makes the difference. If we have good judgement, then our future choices will be made from what we learned through our mistakes rather than continuing to make the wrong choices.

First off, I love Mike Rowe. I agree that judgment is an excellent quality to look for in an applicant. Experience means something, sure, but not much. It means they've had more opportunities to make more mistakes. But that doesn't mean that they have better judgment now because of it. You can teach anyone pretty much anything at a job, and wouldn't you rather have a creative, honest, driven individual rather than someone who has already become accustomed to an old jobs ways? Pick the best fit for a business based on the quality of the person, not the length of their resume.

I love Mike Rowe! I completely agree with him that our experices are only beneficial if we learn from them and most people just use the word experience to cover up mistakes. Judgement is what counts.

This is so true! Unless we learn and move on from our experiences, they are worthless! Judgement is a very important aspect of experience and should be considered when making new decisions. Unless you learn from experiences and use those findings to decide on future experiences, you might as well not update your resume!

I love the breakdown of "experienced" people who made bad choices. Or choices without regard to good morals. I like the emphasis placed on good judgement as well. I think the balance of both is what is required of all of us to be good stewards of the natural talents and skills we have as well as the skills and experience acquired over time.

I agree judgment is definitely more important. Judgment is what you use to determine if a decision is a good or bad one. Experience is what you gain when you perform and act or witness one. Many people have experience with a situation or decision they must make, but your judgment is what tells you whether or not the decision you are going to make is good or bad. Some block this out and do what they want to do, which isn’t necessarily what they should do. I always say, and was always told, follow your gut; if it feels right, then go with it, but if it feels wrong proceed with caution.

I certainly believe that experience is overrated. I believe that people are much more valuable than their experience. I love the quote "experience is just a list of my mistakes, that's why i quit updating my resume"

I think that this video is extremely helpful, and somewhat entertaining. I find it interesting because in today's job market, most employers are looking for someone with experience. Most of us have been in school and therefore have very little or no experience. I think that students learn how to make good judgments in school, through ethics classes and so forth. Ultimately, I guess it is more beneficial in the long run to be able to have good judgment versus a whole bunch of experience.

I think that judgment and experience go hand in hand. Sometimes you can go off of experiences, but other times you may need to use your judgment instead. Just because you have experience in something, does not mean that it is always a good experience, making changes is sometime necessary to do things a different way than in the past.

I enjoyed this video. Experience only matters if you take something away from the experience. Some people do and some don’t. Many people have experience but very few have good judgment in a particular field. Good judgment is based on taking away something from the experiences one has been exposed to. While I agree to some extent, experience is necessary for good judgment.

Having exceptional judgment takes you farther than having good experience. Experience is a word we give to our mistakes, that we should have learned from. Judgment allows you to have to experience without making the mistake. Even though judgment out weighs experience, in my opinion, I do still believe you need some experience. Experience is a good tool in judging how an individual can learn from their mistakes. If an individual does not learn from their mistakes, then their experience is not worth anything.

I think this topic is very important. However, I feel like the topic is misconstrued by so many people. I personally think judgment and experience should work together not be put against one another. This is a mistake that lots of people make when choosing between one or the other to make a decision. Lastly, when making a decision we should use judgment to evaluate past experiences and future opportunities.
