Than I

"I just thought that you could do a better job than I because of all your past experience."

Is "I" right there over "me" for a moral formal way of saying it?

Thanks.

All right, thanks. Does that apply to other subject pronouns as well? I know it does for "he" and "she," and I'm pretty sure "than they" is right, but what about "than we"? For example: "You could do a better job than we." That sounds wrong to me. Or is that simply because it's rarely used that way but rather "us."

Snarfbut what about "than we"? For example: "You could do a better job than we."
That’s correct, too, but it sounds ridiculous for the reason you gave. If I wanted to use a subject pronoun, I would do this: You could do a better job than I/we/he/she/they could.
