Knowledge over experience.

Now-a-days many students tend to get into the corporate life just after graduation or after post graduation. There are few students who try to pursue higher courses or professional courses. One of the main reason being delay in employment. While any graduate would earn definitely a lower starting package but would tend to grow with experience, the other student pursuing higher education tend to feel the societal pressure of not being employed, even though they are fundamentally not unemployed, they are just gaining knowledge by reading and studying books.Whereas on the other hand the graduated students entering into the corporate world are gaining knowledge by working in those environment. These graduates would not have much time as well as zeal to study any further once they get into this corporate trap but they are very happy earning a lump sum every month. Once the student pursuing higher education gets his degree and jumps into this corporate world, with much more knowledge regarding books than the graduate one, what is the guarantee he would be paid based on this knowledge and not on experience. Now-a-days most corporates have experience of 2-3 years as their basic requirement, so it is the era where experience would be a plus point over knowledge and higher studies?

Knowledge is the basic thing for applying a job in the industry. An academic degree is required in confirmation of that knowledge. It is obvious that companies and organisations give due credit to this academic qualification.
When people start to work in an organisation than they also start to gather and accumulate the experience of their working. This experience is a crucial thing because it is used in future for taking up of the similar job in a better fashion.
Each area has its own experience and a person experienced in one area will not be able to do much in other area. Today we are living in an age of specialization and people having experience in a particular area are preferred by the companies which are having business interests in that arena. In essence knowledge and experience both are required for making a successful career in a particular line.

Knowledge is power.

The knowledge we are getting through our degrees should be useful to the industry. Then only our qualifications will help us in getting a good job. The knowledge we acquire in our undergraduate course will be sufficient for the industry. Whatever knowledge we are acquiring in post-graduation is in no way useful for a particular industry, those people will not pay anything extra for your higher qualification. But a person who worked for 2 years in an industry will acquire knowledge that is useful for the industry. That is why the industry is paying more for an experience than higher qualifications. A person who has a higher qualification should go for a job where his higher qualification will come in handy. But such openings will be fewer. So one has to decide whether to go for a higher degree or not, based on the field of interest and the availability of a job. Definitely, the industry wants persons with hands-on knowledge rather than bookish knowledge.
