Honestly... I think it's only Nigerian employers that still concern themselves with degrees.


Those of people who have made serious money from freelancing can attest to the wonders of Experience over school attendance.

Most Nigerians prefer experience, but w'd request for degree

Experience over degree, though degree has its own importance as well

In Nigeria, employers run after paper certificate.

Abroad, they put you to test to see if you know your craft.

This explains why most engineers, doctors and other professionals are cab drivers abroad, apart from the issue of not having legit papers.

degree comes first before experience,take a look at this professions engineer,doctor,accounting and law,they go through a year or 2 to get the experience and now resit for exams before you can fully call them their respected names

English proverb saying:: Experience is the best Teacher.
So Experience is the best governmental operational management .

Experience but at some level both of them are required.

It depends on the environment and industry...

You know like they say... People who hold pen get more paid that people who hold tools.
When it comes to appointment into leadership positions, your qualifications matter. That's why you see some situations where they will bring one inexperienced lad with degree to be your boss despite your years of experience all because that position has to be held by a degree holder... Yet you will still be the one to teach the inexperienced lad on the job o... You see that a lot in the govt parastatals and some private organisations..

As time goes on, if the lad is serious he will become experienced on the job and become balanced..

On the other hand experience is good as it enhances your CV and make you more marketable but then your assention on your career ladder maybe limited without a degree... So even with the experience it is advisable that you get a degree alongside...

Why do you see some people e.g. engineers, IT guys , doctors, technical guys go for MBA? It's because they aim to take up leadership positions and that is where the real power and money is...

So I will say both experience and degree are necessary. Whichever one you have first, make sure you add the other to it

Cheers

Experience

Degree will give you opportunity to earn experience

Rising to the top in a company without degree even with experience is difficult especially in a Nigerian setting

We are here looking for degree but outside there they looking for your technical experience not your BSc, dpc, DSS, ssc, even your hiv self is of no use.

DyingFetus:

Unclebayo:

It depends. There is no flat answer to this because that question can be subjective.
In all, why not get both, it will save you headache

Your ignorance saddens me to no end!!!

Olachase:
Experience will get you the job while degree will get you promotion


If anybody tells you anything aside this the person hate you

Oga... thats for federal and state civil service jobs

Both are determinants but in most cases, your proven abilities are most valued

Can you allow an auxiliary nurse to do brain surgery on your relative? The answer i am sure will be no. So both are needed in most cases

Degrees


Experience doesn't count without degrees.

I turned degree holders to my boys here

Abroad, Experience!

pseudonomer:
Abroad, Experience!

Lol... Big fat lie

In a formal setting.

Your degree is what brings you to the table to show your experience.

Informal it's experience over degree.

Check requirements in job postings and you'll see they list out experiences first then say a degree in computer science or related discipline will.....


So degree give advantage, get both of them ,

If you can at the same time, else experience before degree

Both

Experience bro..first time I bang totto na for night .as I no get experience before I use torch light dey find toto .but now with years of experience in my totto CV I dey close eyes locate the toto navigation

pseudonomer:
Abroad, Experience!

Lol, degree first before experience in the corporate America.
If it’s just a small firm or semi skilled profession, then experience may come first

Raskimonojendor:
Experience for sure. If you like carry PhD, MBA, MSC Mphil e.t.c nothing beats experience.

Says people who couldn't graduate from the university
