What is the most important? Qualifications or Experience?

Discussion

With the number of university placements continuously on the rise and more people graduating with a bachelor’s degree than ever before, is it more valuable to have a string of letters behind your name, or years of experience to fall back on?

Gone are the days when a worker would kickstart their career as an employee and work their way to the top, staying loyal to their employer. As people seem to choose prolonging their academic experience over gaining work experience in a particular field, it begs the question as to what is most important: qualifications or experience?
