In this post, I referred to "experience" as "professional experience", like working for a company in a professional setting.
You first few points seem to miss the fact that you get better at things via experience. This includes handling change, soft skills, having ideas.
Semi yes, quasi no. Soft skills and ideas are not necessarily constrained by experience, and someone with great ideas/communication skills can be just as successful as someone with a lot of experience. Take Elon Musk, for example. He is someone who has had a tremendous impact in various industries, despite not having a lot of experience in those industries. This is because he can generate new ideas and bring them to fruition. This is a prime example of how soft skills can be just as important, if not more important, than hard skills.
The rest of your points don't seem to back up your claim about experience not being important, or show the opposite. For example, everything being competitive means you're better off if you have experience.
It is quite the opposite. Sometimes, being new to a field can be an advantage. Fresh eyes can see things that those who are entrenched in the status quo might miss. And new ideas can challenge old ways of doing things, leading to more innovation and progress.
Also "As millennials increasingly enter the workforce" is a pretty weird statement. Millenians are between 40 and 20 years old, so they are the workforce.
I was referring to the younger generation, the lower bound, people in their 20s. This is the group that is most likely to be unemployed, and they are also the group that is the most innovative. This is the group that is going to be the most affected by the changing economy, and they are the ones who are going to have to adapt the quickest. They are also the most likely to be able to do so.
Elon Musk has tremendous impact because he is rich and lucky. He has never "generate[d] new ideas and [brought] them to fruition", he has paid other people to. His experience is of being given a large loan by his father.
You do not back up your claim that having experience makes you less competitive. Being entrenched in the status quo is not the same as having experience. Being entrenched is an experience.
I don't doubt that young people have good ideas. I had a lot of great ideas when I was young. It turned out I wasn't the first to think them, and I didn't have the experience necessary to put them into action.
