What matters most when looking for a job is not necessarily education alone or even your experience or additional on-the-job training, but the it’s total package. Each occupation has a recommended path to become competent in that field. Each contains the recommended level of education, the length of work experience generally needed, and any additional on-the-job training needed. However, keep in mind that some employers may have more requirements and some may even have less.
