I agree. There is a poor utilisation of skills within the economy. Firstly, people develop at different rates but they are pigeon-holed by their early twenties, if not younger. Some may be lucky enough to develop into a more suitable role but even if they gain a skill set or knowledge, a lack of experience will hamper them. The HR firewall for entry will often block them if they don't have relevant experience, and sometimes the requirement for experience is so narrow that even really good candidates with suitable skills are ignored in favour of someone who ticks all boxes. Then, in large organisations we have the Peter Principle where it is said that everyone rises to their level of incompetence. In that scenario a recruiting and ineffective boss will worry that he or she doesn't recruit someone who is too clever. Adequate is the name of the game.
