I believe studies don't expose you to real world situations.
The lack of practicality creates a gap between your knowledge pre and post experience gained at work.

For a fresher yes, only basis of their studies they can enter relevant stream, however later on studies pursued doesn't relate to experience gained.

The link between studies attained (Book Knowledge) and experience (the Real World) gained in your work have a close connection and both contribute to your overall growth and success in your field of work.
It’s a question that has been debated down the ages, one that often has no concrete answer but which has been argued well and hard nevertheless - If book knowledge is all that is needed, why do we need experience to secure a job? And if experience is all that matters, why go to college at all? The truth is that there are advantages to both book learning and experience, and life is a success only when you’re able to find the right mix of both these vital ingredients.
The combination depends on the kind of person you are and the career you choose to enter.
In today’s world, it would seem that experience has the edge over book learning.
But even so, most employers would never give you a second look if you haven’t been formally schooled or don’t have a college degree.
You may have been working all your life, but the best jobs often go to those with the best education.
So while experience is important, it loses its value unless built on a solid foundation of book learning, one that has been built brick by brick through school and college.
