School > Experience??

This blog post is going to talk about what is most important for the worker entering his or her field.

People today are putting a lot of emphasis of schooling. It's harder to get a job now that the economy is at a all time low state. They usually want people to have a 2 year minimum of college experience. But does that really represent skill and possibilities that person could bring to the company? Certainly not. You can be the most slacking person and still pass college. College has not lived up to is potential. Sure work can be hard but does it bring out what a person really need in order to succeed? I personally believe that experience should be the best qualification.

I have just recently started my job and I have to say I learn a lot of new things. In my work environment I am exposed to real situations and work. It's nothing like school work. I personally see the only thing you get out of school may be the diligence. In TSTM I thought it would be more hands on in the technology sector but its not. Its focus is more on the business. I could pass this whole major with a 4.00 but that does mean I know technology.

You can have all the schooling in the world but its not amount to degree of experience in my opinion. Experience provides you with the necessities you will need when problems arise and actions need to be made. Sure schooling is need to provide a foundation. But if experience demonstrates abilities the need for school can become a optional need.

What is your take on the subject, should business people only interview people that have received a degree from college?
