Q: value experience or education
During my time here I am seeing they value education more than experience in the work place and the better education you have the better career you will have.
While I do value education I do not see it as the pillar of career success. So why do Chinese value education more?

It is probably related to the "Good good study, day day up" from Chairman Mao. I have noticed sometimes this extreme obsession with the university and how some kids that cannot make it almost give up on life and they believe success is not possible for them. Fortunately in my field experience is more valuable and pretty much will give you the same chances than someone with a degree. I hope a Chinese person can answer to you about this.
Because just about anybody who can walk or talk can graduate from highschool. They hand you that diploma on a silver platter. I've known friends who got D's and F's and still got out of highschool. Having a college degree is referred to as higher education and many employess value that....since experience will come with time.
another example of poor business sense. they rather someone that looks good on paper over someone who performs well with the students
street smart people are more productive than any person that has an education usually
