What is the purpose of an university education if catch 22 exist? that is no job no experience and vice versa?

Answer 1

University course work can be considered part of someone's experience in the field

That is one of the points for haveing a degree or certificate. It tells the potential employer that the holder as acheived some degree of compenentcy in the subject.

Still, SOME additional work expereince, even if not in the field of study can indicate that a candidate is CAPABLE of holding down a steady job, doesn't matter what, flipping burgers, running a cash register, washing cars, etc. Any employer would rather hire someone with proven qualities such as reliability, punctuality, etc.

Answer 2

Well part of getting your degree and "education" is the actual education and experience in that field you want to work in. A student in their last year or school should be either doing some sort of internship or job in that work area so they can put it on their resume.

Some jobs offer positions and will allow a degree to stand in for lack of work experience, but there aren't many.
That is one thing that is lacking in the college world - there should be some sort of job or internship requirement for each degree program that the students have to complete so they have the "Well-rounded" education you are supposed to get...but until then, it is up to you as a responsible adult to go out and show some iniative to get experience by yourself. THat is what employers look for anyways.
