Is experience the only source of knowledge?

When we compare two individuals one coming form a background where he has done his acadamic education getting good makrs and being a good student as regards all aspects during school/college times. And the other one being poor and who is unable to complete his education, completes his primary education from any municipality school and starts wroking immediately after completing his studies, he is the one who gains knowledge of the happenings and how things run in this real world seems to be very much brighter at the time the when the first student completes education/graduation. Is it the practical experience which is vey much important in this cruel world that can seem to be our sword to fight against all difficulties, or is the degree enough for anyone. Since experience matters the most is the reason why many of the proffessional courses have included industrial visits to be a part of their curriculum to provide students first hand experience as regards working of the industry they are going to join in near future.

With a new thought will such visits or actual expereince of working in such comapny's/offices/industry provide greater knowledge than the theory learned in classes/colleges.!
