I really liked this video. Getting a new job is very challenging. Every company wants you to have experience, but no one is willing to let you build experience with them. I agree with the video that experience isn't everything. The examples he used were perfect. Judgement is what is seriously lacking in today's work force. Without judgement, people cannot make ethical decisions. I also agree that we use the word experience to cover our mistakes. We think of a large mistake as an experience that we will be able to avoid the next time. The English language really needs a common word to describe making the same mistakes repeatedly. I think the word failure or insane can sum that up pretty quickly!

People learn from them in different ways- the best way to learn from them it to experience some sort of discomfort when you make the mistake. Like when a child touches a hot pan and burns themselves- they are most likely not going to do that again, yet a kid who climbs a tree, falls and breaks his arm is likely to not climb the tree again- or he will climb it again and just be more cautious as to not fall the next time

I like Mike Rowe and this video. However, I think that this is a tough debate. Judgment and experience play a big role in our lives and careers. I don't think either is more important that the other. But rather a combination of the two. One must have judgment and experience when making decisions and choosing what is best for them.

Mike Rowe made some very subjective and opinionated point in this video. It's true that experience only matters if you learn from it, and rest of his speech tells us that he doesn't think most people do learn from mistakes. I think he needs more statistics to support his opinion. How can someone make judgement without having experience first?

I really liked this video and I like Mike Rowe. Experience is just another word for a mistake. I do think this is true, everyone thinks learning from experience is key but we keep making these poor choices over and over. Judgment is common sense and you need to have better judgement in order to succeed.

Judgement means everything in the workplace. Having good judgement can go a longer way than experience. Working your way through new problems will be more beneficial in the long run since situations change from day to day.

I wonder how much experience he had before making this video. In the job world they want people with experience to avoid making bad judgments. I'm not sure that you have to go through an experience to understand it. I have 4 sisters and I learned a lot form observing their mistakes. I feel like I can make a good judgment about something without necessarily having been through that experience.

I agree with the video that many people do not learn from their experiences. It is easy to look back on something and make excuses for what happened or romanticize what actually happened. Judgment is, in my opinion, much more beneficial than experience.

I think judgement and experience are equally important, but I think experience increases your ability to judge situations. I like how he says people do not learn the same ways, and the best way to learn from a mistake is to feel discomfort. When you are uncomfortable with a situation, you are more motivated to fix it.

One develops judgement from past experience. If you fail you'll know what not to do next time it happens. Not sure why the dirty jobs dude is telling me that though.
