Do you think long experience with strong technological expertise make you a strong competitor for who hold highest degrees with weak experience?

Absolutely yes, because experience and technical expertise is what a person actually requires for performing all job tasks. I believe degrees are just an entry to any job. Once a person enters, then all matters is what he/she actually done practically.So a person holding experience makes him a strong competitor against a person holding degrees.

Yes, having a long experience with strong technological expertise make a strong competitor because i do believe that everyone can learn and enhance their skills through their challenges that they faced and overcome through their abilities and experience.
