Does experience override education?

So here’s what I will say when comparing against my peers without an MBA.

They are smart, wise, and know how to do their jobs. That’s all they know, but it’s quite a lot.

They do not understand things like how their roles/goals fits in the larger organization. They do not always know how to think/problem solve larger problems. Someone with a fresh education may not be as effective at their job.

There are clearly things that are only learned from experience, and there are some things you only learn in school.

Let me do an anecdotal comparison, that yes, happened to me. I went for my quarterly blood draw. The phlebotomist is young and fairly new. He/she knows how to stick the vein and draw the blood without much pain. That’s education. For the first time in my life, I start to blackout during a blood draw. The phlebotomist starts calling for help. Now I can still hear things going on, but for whatever reason I’m blacked out. I hear a nurse put her hand on my on my back rubbing it, and she’s barking out orders. She tells someone to get an ice pack. I’m wondering if I’m going to be okay. I hear what sounds like it a package being caught one handed, because I feel her other hand on me. She cracks that pack with one hand. That’s when knew I was going to be okay. She starts putting the ice pack on the back of my neck, and the I start to “see” again. That, is experience.

Yea unfortunately many roles require the education first then you gain that experience !

I am on a team of all RN's. They made an exception for me to join them. I am a registered medical assistant. I have 24 years experience in healthcare and ideally they thought I had a lot to offer the team.

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

Would you rather try to get promoted/climb the career ladder or try and grow your side hustle into a larger enterprise while working your day job? I’m at a point where I’m very comfortable where I am and ready to move on to higher paying but more stressful roles. At the same time I’m also pursuing a side hustle that can be lucrative if done correctly but comes with more risks. Would you 1.) try and get promoted while pursuing a side hustle or 2.) stay in current role and focus on side hustle?

I work in healthcare administration but was a medic for years. You learn so much about innovation but seems like most health systems just want people to fall in line and just do what's always been done. I would take a pay cut to work for a system that's actually trying to do something disruptive in the Industry as opposed to just using buzz words in ppt.
