Here is a question for you, which is more important qualifications or experience in a particular field?
The reason I ask such a question is that recently I got asked if I had the qualifications that I say I do and that got me thinking. The short answer is yes I do have the qualifications and anyone who wants can go and check them, but what about experience surely that is at least as important if not more important.
You see before I started ComTech back in April 2010 I had been playing around with computers for years. I used to upgrade this, change that, learnt new Microsoft software and learnt Linux to name just a few but to get recognised in the IT field I had to study for my qualifications. It does seam sometimes that if you have the piece of paper then you must know what you are talking about. Believe me when I say I have met quite a few people in both IT and my former field, Construction, that have the qualifications but do not have a clue about what they are doing.
Ok so which is best? My own personal view is that you must have a balance. Yes qualifications have their place, it proves that you can study to a particular level, but only through experience can you apply what you have learnt.
So what do you think?

An extraordinary share, I just given this onto a colleague who has been doing a little analysis on this. And he in fact purchased me morning meal merely because I found it for him.. smile.
