Experience, one of the themes at the US 08 elections. Experience is the sum total of the things that have happened to a person and of his or her past thoughts and feelings. People who do not have it quite often turn to veterans or to the ones who have it.

It is safe to assume that current students will save time and effort if they shoot an email to an alumni who is now working for the company/industry/country the students are interested in.
