So what's your take on that ?
Can experience make up for the lack of a degree, or does a degree provide something that experience cannot? what matters most when it comes to getting a job? Does that higher degree get your foot in the door, or does work experience count? And beyond actually attaining a job, will experience or education serve you best for staying employed, growing in your career and making a decent wage?

well, isn't it tough to pick a side now ? Keep chasing your tail while you come up with the conclusion !
 
In my opinion both are equally important, I have done MBA in Marketing but sometimes i regret having done it without any prior experience, it is always better to opt for MBA after working for a minimum of 1 year - please note i said "Minimum" but obvious the more experience you have the better, but sometimes that could be a negative point as well.

When you are done with your MBA and you have good experience to show, there will be companies who would say you are "OVER QUALIFIED" for the job whereas there will be other companies where there will be openings but your expectations may not be fulfilled.

I would always suggest get a minimum of 1 yr experience & then go for higher studies as both are important and weigh equally.
 
If you are from India, 1 or 2 years of experience depending on which institute you are taking admission into. Generally premier b-schools like experienced candidates over freshers.

If you are from developed countries, a little more experience is required.
