Most Countries run the same criteria on education standards for immigration, although that doesn't always rule out the experienced, it is assessed on the data, you supply although there is normally an age limit too.
Unfortunately with education today, it makes a mockery of the MBA's that are churned out for the sake of $. Universities are selling there selves short, because it is commercialism and competitiveness, that keeps you alive, at the sacrifice of students, that in most cases could never practically do the Job.
I was only a 10th grader when I did my 16 week full time export exam with 40 others, all that had degrees cand.mag. • cand.agric. • cand.jur. • cand.med. • cand.med.vet. • cand.merc. • cand.oecon. • cand.polit. • cand.philol. • cand.psychol. • cand.scient. Phd's and Employee Managers with experience. It was the Danish Governments call for an intensive export drive, due to a fall in exports, which Denmark has you may well know, relies on.
Only around 10 qualified in the exam, because all the others lacked practical skills and commonsense.
Yes it very important to have exams, but without the experience they are worthless in the beginning, I notice many Chinese that take Masters degree straight after, they graduate, simply because it is aloud without practical experience. It is a very unwise step in my opinion and would be much better appreciated after a period of time.
The MBA programmes are only good, if you can hack the position, not everyone are Masters at what they do, far from it.
I think the days of bottle feeding are long over and experience counts more than ever today, the weeding out process is still ongoing with regards to qualifications and practical experience, productivity is far more important than the framed degree, in any Companies eye's except the government.
Where there is a will there is a way...not at all like the chicken and egg.
What came first experience or eduction, we all certainly have a problem without the education in the eyes of bureaucracy, it's nearly always catch 22.
But a catch 22 problem can be solved, I can give you an example in Beijing, when i was asked if i could help a woman and her child leave. Back in 1992, passports were issued by the police, and the woman could not have a passport, without an official invitation, my invitation wasn't accepted, the catch 22, was put there for a reason, to keep them in.
Although I over came the problem by thinking out of the box, and going to the local Danish embassy and requesting some help to solve a catch 22 problem, they then gave me an official invitation, so the woman and child could get the passport and leave.
My own education wasn't structured how it should have been, I did it all backwards in my own time and was penalised for using university terminology on my A and O levels, again conservative bureaucracy, rather than reality of what goes on in the real world.
