I agree that having both types of experienced staff on site are a bonus.
I think the problem usually comes in when some (few but noisey)individuals get about two years of experience then deem themselves to be experts and ready to run sites etc.. ( ok seperate post I guess)
In my experience we are learning all the time on this job.
The problem with graduates is that the universities that produce them have varying ideas about how much field technique and experience they should be providing them with before graduation. Some I have come accross are sadly lacking in this area.
