It depends on the job/field. Many jobs that I am applying to or looking at want tons of experience and, without it, you don't get a second glance. However, in the last 2 (mental health-related) jobs I've had, the ones who had been there the longest were either pushed into retirement or, if they wouldn't go, were fired one way or another. I was safe because I was at the bottom or the totem pole but, in some places, I'd be the first to go.
ETA: Oops, I didn't see there was a new page of replies.
Oh and IIRC, aren't ALL of those tests (ACT, SAT...) geared toward students going to college?
