Education or Experience?

[cc(,``o]

---

honestly! you cashiered for your AUNT!!!(got the word?) simply you are "AKIN" to the owner.

then, what are post graduate education for? don't you think that is to strengthen your credentials?

if experience was the most important thing, then, post grad education is absurd!

why do they take MBA? why take Masters? why take Doctorate?

COZ THOSE FULL OF EXPERIENCE STILL NEEDS MORE EDUCATION... NOBODY KNOWS EVERYTHING... and there is no better place to learn fast, easy, and risk free than the school!!!

i was simply proving a point that to know how to count does not require u to be a college graduate. i never said they hire undergrads. some do but most dont. Â*and hence the reason why i pointed out that if people dnt close their mind to that pc of paper then there will be more job opportnities for unddergrads.

there are a lot of reasons why ppl take up mba. not all of them for the things they learn in school. some for the people they meed and the contacts they get to have.

cashiering isnt the only job that does not require a colelge Â*degree. there are actually a whole list of other jobs that undergrads can do and some even better than degree holders. but let's not get into that. that has already been pointed out by another forumer.

and about your niece knowing how to count. can your niece count beyond 1000? dont be absurd. you and i both know its not just counting. but a person with common sense and of the right age to think maturely and logically can certainly do a cashier job. which also doesnt require a degree to acquire such.

another reason for taking up mba is it opens more doors. more oppurtinties. Â*and higher salary.

im not completely blind to what a diploma can give its holder. im simply frustrated that some people undeesimate non-degree holders

yea i am one of those people. just because i dnt have one doesnt mean im stupid. ive had my share of people who belittles what i have to say but fortunately most people ive encountered knows i have something in between my ears.

you have a point. cooking can be learned in and out of school. but it's not as easy as you make it sound. Â*it takes a whole lot of practice before you can cook well. its not just cooking but you also have to do presentation/food styling. bieng a chef is not easy. it takes a whole lot of responsibility. they cant just mix and match ingredients without thourough understanding of the ingredients. and dont forget chefs are responsible for the stomach and lives of the people. you cant just go to your garden and gather herbs. there are a lot of poisonous Â*plants. there are also some ingredients that can be poisonous if too much is being used. if he doesnt know what hes doing then the lives or the people are in great jeopardy.

if you understand what im and was saying i said experience is more imporatant because that is where u get to learn most things and that's where you apply most things you learned. but i never said the things we learn are not important.

if people only care to open their eyes they will see that the things we learn going to school can also be learned outside. they are different ways and means of learning things. Â*which is how they see education. where you learn things. Â*but sad to say that they think going to school is the only way to learn.

A teacher of mine once said: "Less 10% of what you learn in class is used when you are in the outside world. The rest, you learn through Experience."

we all get education anywhere, school education and street education that we experience everyday.. that's why there are school smarts and street smarts.. but i believe experience teaches us best cause we know it first hand and not just told by others

naa ra jud na sa kugihan sa usa tao og dli pilian mangita og trabaho.

Even fresh grad or no education at all, if you are picky in getting a job, in the long run you wont get a job.

If you have a very high grades and you are one of the top notcher of your batch, then company will difinetely give you a high ranking job instantly. Thats a result being diligent at school. Instant Result.

If you dont have school education but is very diligent at work, then slowly you will get notice, be promoted and probably get a high ranking job. Slow Result. A person with considerable experience in a certain field can gain a repu tation as an expert. Thus get a high ranking job.


Now lets not generalize education to school education. based from my dictionary here:

Education: The gradual process of acquiring knowledge

Experience: The accumulation of knowledge or skill that results from direct participation in events or activities


So experience goes with education. Education can be get in any situation or environment. You can get education through experience.



from http://en.wikipedia.org
Education encompasses teaching and learning specific skills, and also something less tangible but more profound: the imparting of knowledge, good judgement and wisdom.

Experience as a general concept comprises knowledge of or skill in or observation of some thing or some event gained through involvement in or exposure to that thing or event.


mas advantage if naa ka proper education, kay naa man ka good judgement and wisdom aside from knowledge lang sa experience.

it is always education. Do doubt. You can have a best decision in your business or work if you do not have formal education. School is the place where you are being tough of logic and comprehension. Mahirap ang wala nyan.

I believe education is important. Experiencing something without knowing anything about it from theory will be useless. When I say education, I dont mean just college, I am talking about all the education you get starting from nursery to college. I can see people here saying that they succeeded although they did not graduate college or they are undergrads.... Even if you are undergrads, didnt you learn how to count from your high scool teachers? Didnt you learn to pronounce words properly from school and if you will say that the parents can teach us that then I will again ask how did the parents know that... it will still be from the school. Experience alone cannot help you that is why there is education.

However, I do believe that the most effective way to learn is to experience it and then reflect from that experience but before you can reflect on that experience, you still need theories which can be learned from education to base it from. This is just my opinion though.
