Experience? OR Qualifications?

Wich one do you prefeer? Wich one do you think its appropiated? Well for me, i think it depends of the job; some jobs more than others but every job needs experience so... i may say experience wins...

With the rise in number of people attending university and completing Degrees it seems that some of the "shine" have been taken off, because formerly someone who has been in university was like "WOW look at him he is a great man and has several degrees in university" now no longer university is just for the social "elite".

Now a degree alone wont guarantee you a work place because it is like a common thing these days so many job adverts are now asking for a minimum of three years work experience in the desired field before they will consider you.Now you say "How can I get the experience when I am at university?" This is a true point so this is why you need to know before you go to university what career you want to work in and what is the best path to get you there.

Many university students just go to university as they don’t know what else to do but if you can go in knowing what you want to do it is a big advantage. Another thing to remember is that after you have finished your degree you may not be able to walk straight in to a high paying graduate job. You may have to take a lower salary than you were expecting in order to build up experience. It is only with both experience and a degree that you will eventually get those higher paid management level jobs.

We must accept it... employers are now more interested in your ability to do the job not what you have learnt in a classroom.
