I agree with the point that work experience counts more important than a paper qualification. Work experience can be somethings more valuable than a paper certificate too. This is because work experience usually come from years of practising and training, this is even more beneficial to their occupations and something more practical when the employer looks for an employee.
In the modern era, whereby education is an important issue as it deems to a path for securing a higher paid job. However, because of its importance, everyone works so hard to earn the paper qualifications, thus, it ends up the number of people having it is abundant. With this abundancy, this paper qualification becomes any kind of plain paper found on the floor. From this, I would say that the significance of this paper certificate has dropped.
Moreover, looking at the number of unemployed graduates in Singapore, it is evident that just by education certificates, it does not guarantee you anything in the future.
However, I would suggest that paper qualification is not totally useless. After all, countries like
Singapore have pumped in so much efforts in the education industry, it definitely has its own benefits for educating people.
Although we said work experience is more valuable, we could not neglect the fact that these paper qualifications are the necessities which employers look for during interview. For example, if you flip through any recruitment advertisements, how many jobs are there stating you do not need any paper qualifications. It seems to be a pass for you to obtain before you can even start applying for the job.
Also, paper qualifications come in handy in the later part of your career path. Coming to promotions, these paper certificates may determine how much do your pay raise. Through my personal experience with my mentors, given both workers need to do the same amount of works, but one of them holds a diploma whereas the other has a degree, the one with a degree will have a higher pay than the other. Although it sounds unfair, this is the reality we are facing in the working industry.
To conclude, I feel that paper qualifications and work experiences should come hand in hand to give you a better career path. With paper qualification, it can at least increase the chances of getting selected for an interview, however, if you are someone with zero working experience or purely good at academic stuffs, it might give you a bad light too. Thus, paper qualification can be served to give you a easier starting path, but the rest would depend on your working performance and experiences in order to increase your own value for the company.
