My wife works sometimes as a business consultant, and a lot of the places she consults for have both (a) positions consisting of tasks that are really easy, and (b) people who don't do the job any better than a random junior high school student would.

I may have worded it differently than how I wanted it to come out. I mostly meant I'd rather hire somebody with experience over the alternative. Granted, I was hired at a job that I stayed at for four years with minimal to no experience so I suppose my word doesn't stretch very far.
However, we're talking about entry level jobs vs presidency. Bit of a difference.
