What determines the level of a profession, Is it education or quality of work delivered even without papers?

These requirements are a reflection of the normative ... But even with that education.

Education is very much important because it is where someone learned the basics of what career world has to offer. But working experience most especially the quality of work that you delivered to a company is more important for me. Because it will be reflected on your character as a professional on how your previous employer appreciate or sees you.

Both-Education matters as it gives insight of what to do and prepare you before taking up the job I hitch will give you edge above others while work delivered even without papers shows how better you have been on the job
