if you were an employer, which kind of worker would you prefer to hire: an inexperienced worker at a lower salary or an experienced worker at a higher salary? use specific reasons and details to support your answer.

BE CAREFUL OF WORDS LIKE “CRAP”.  IT IS TOO INFORMAL (AND IT IS A SINGULAR NON-COUNT NOUN, BY THE WAY.)

BOTH PARAGRAPHS TALK ABOUT TIME (WHICH IS FINE AS THE PARAGRAPHS ARE DIFFERENT ENOUGH).  YOU COULD RETURN TO THE IDEA THAT INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY WILL SAVE YOU MORE MONEY IN THE END AND THEREFORE, IT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE MORE ECONOMICAL TO HIRE AN EXPERIENCED WORKER AT A HIGHER SALARY.  

FOR ANOTHER PARAGRAPH, YOU COULD ADD THAT AN EXPERIENCED WORKER WILL BRING HIS/HER EXPERIENCE FROM ANOTHER COMPANY AND MAY BE ABLE TO TEACH YOUR COMPANY HOW TO DO THINGS BETTER.

If i were the boss of a company, i would rather hire experienced employees at higher salary than inexperienced employees at lower salary.

One of the reasons that makes me think like that is hiring a experienced worked, you won’t need to spend time n money to train him. in business, time is very important and it means money therefore a good businessman can’t waste any seconds to do craps like that, because his opponents can steal the customers away from him quickly.

another reason is the effectiveness during working. it is so true that a experienced worker can do more and better works than a inexperienced employee. with a same amount of works and time, a employee with more experience in the job can solve faster and more than the one without experience.

i agree your two points that businessman does not want to waste the time and experienced employees is better than inexperienced employee are very signficant factors for businessman, but you need one other supporting idea.
