It really shows that experiece is must more valuabe then education. Now there have been some studies that show for people early in their careers an advanced degree is valuable. However, later in life the value of experiece wins out as the memories and lessons learned from earlier come to bear.
Today was just that kind of issue. Now I have been working for this same company for quite awhile. While many people, including a number of external employment adviser, say this can be a problem (too much baggage), I don't entirely agree. You learn how an organization works and have professional associations. Today we needed some information for a new project and I told my collegue that I knew some people from where I used to work in the company that could help out (memories). I called the person and after a short conversation I found the information that we needed.
Now while this 'baggage' means that I still have a number of freudian slips, calling here there and the like. It also means I have been through a lot as well.
Never underestimate the power of memory and experience!
Have a great day.
Enjoy.
