Is there a function that can limit the value of an integer in a MySQL
query?   I am trying to write a query that scores someones experience.
However, number of jobs can become overweighted in the the query below. If
someone has done 10 jobs vs. 1 that's a big difference in experience. But
someone who's done 100 vs. someone who's done 50 the difference in
experience is not so great as they are both near the top of the learning
curve.  In essence number of jobs becomes less and less of a contributor as
it increases. Is there a way to limit it's value as it increases?

SELECT years_srvd + no_of_jobs AS EXPERIENCE

Thanks,

Richard
