That must mean I am underqualified but overexperienced.
As I have few qualifications but loads and loads of experience.

Absolutely not ... experience is exactly what is says it is. But saying that, experience is, in itself, a qualification and will get you further than paper qualifications alone. You simply need to find work, whatever that be, gain that important experience meanwhile and use it to move on and up through your life. It is all a question of you 'being useful' to potential employers and that comes with proof of what you can do, what you can offer them and how fruitful you will be to them.You also need to look at yourself, how personable you are and what you have to offer as a person in addition to qualifications.

Qualifications are like taking a class on a subject, and experience is like volunteer or a job where you use that education. I've had employers spout this off to me before, and always came back with a solid "I can't gain experience until I'm hired." That seems to work lol hope this helps

It depends on what qualifications you have. If it's computer skills for example, and you have designed your own project or assisted someone in your university, then that's excellent experience. If you just happen to know Microsoft Office and haven't done anything with it other than school work, then it's considered to be a good skill but not experience.

It depends on the context in which you are asking. Some companies will count years in university for advanced degrees (masters or PHD) towards HR policies such as vacation.
But it's really up to the individual company and what you can negotiate at hiring time.

no. a qualification says you can do something
experience says you have done it.
so just cos you have a qualification for something, you may not have any practical experience in doing it.

In my experience the answer is no. The phrase over qualified and inexperienced is a common rebuttal.
