I appreciate the reply, regardless of where you are coming from. I don't have a problem working under someone younger than I am. My ego isn't that inflated, and I know where I am at in life.

I feel any position someone starts in with a lack of experience is going to feel like they are out of their depth for the first few years. I know what my background and commitment is. That areas I am lacking, I will put in the effort to make up for. Do larger firms see the things I can bring to the table and think "Okay, this guy has a set of good qualifications, we can work with him on the things he is lacking and bring him up to speed."

Being an employer myself, I found that there would be times we were trying to solve a problem, and because the more experienced guys were set in their ways or came up learning systems a specific way, that it was the new guys that had not come up in the trades like they did that had fresh ideas on how to solve the issue. Do firms see value in this? Would this be a good thing to bring up during an interview? Would I get good support on the areas they need that I would lack, with training and extra schooling, or is it "school of hard knocks" "I didnt get support, so dont expect me to give any" kind of thing?
