dgmodel Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 having a lil discussion with someone and wanted a third party opinion on this so, which is considered more valuable... real world experience vs. schooling~!? (practical knowledge vs. theoretical knowledge) which would be a greater selling point on a resume~!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funks0ul Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 believe it's a mix of both... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funks0ul Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 i'd rather have more practical knowledge though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funks0ul Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 but then it's like with certain jobs, you can have the skills, but if you don't have the degree, you're shit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomembername Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 I thought I was actually going to be able to add some insight for once....thought this was going to be about the MTV show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghhhhhost Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 my sister is a genie-ass.....always was..smart as hell... but her common sense is shot to shit....and she struggles thru shit i breeze through...therefore im gona have to say common sense/real world knowledge is more valuable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phatman Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 A balance of both is the ideal but if I had to choose, I'd go with empirical knowledge. This reminds me of that scene from Good Will Hunting where Robin Williams has an epiphany - that this kid has all this theory but nothing applied.

solbeam Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 I'd say a balanced combination of both will prevent anyone from looking like a complete moron in a social setting....There are far too many people in this world who pretend to have a grasp of what's going on around them...

atomicapples Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 it depends on the job i guess....some jobs require more common sense... and some jobs require more text book smarts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crowina Posted December 29 Report Share Posted December 29 personally.. i think "street smarts" is more important then "book smarts" i did not go to college right after high school. i was able to see the "real world" in different eyes... damm people are dumb. some think just because they have a paper in their hand it constitutes them to common sense...uh no.nevertheless the world seems to think that you do need that paper...so i went back to school. i think school is important to become a little more cultured, but i don't think it should be a requirement nor take so many years to obtain.
