I have to come up with a symbol?

A symbol? Or a pictorial representation? A symbol would be a lot harder…

Pictorial representation, yeah.

Okay-this is still a tough question, but not nearly as impossible seeming. Are there any other parameters for this symbol?

Not really, all the rubric says about it is “Include a symbol that you feel represents the conflict, with an explanation along with the symbol, explaining the connection.”

Wow! Okay, see if you can break down the issue. Try to think of something that could represent education, and something that could represent experience, and then think of a way that you could combine the two. Experience could be represented by an older person, education by a graduation cap, etc…hope this helps.

I have the PSD open and can rearrange objects if you want. That is assuming you would want to use it.

@ math nerd: How does the Earth represent experience?

@math_nerd Hm, that’s interesting, but I don’t necessarily agree with education being greater than experience.

That’s why I said I can flip the symbol. http://i.imgur.com/LEDLg.png

Show a man at a desk wearing a square “graduation hat” [ representing education ] being carried by a muscular man. The explanation is that “Experience can carry you quite far, but you see who’s on top, yes?” : )

Here’s my take on the question experience vs education.

An old man with a long white beard and a young graduate, sword fighting.

Scales weighing a book against a spanner??
