Default Need some views

I am currently a diploma holder and working full-time in the marketing function of a real estate company since May 2011 while taking a part-time degree. I will be graduating in 2015 and by then I would have 4 years of working experience.

I am trying to switch job now and people have been telling me that my "real career progression" only starts after I got my degree in 2015. So the working experiences before getting a degree is invalid, have no advantage over degree holders with no working experience and thus commanding the same pay. Is this the norm?

Default Correct

Most unfortunately that is correct.

Simple reason being that if not that will put education study a waste.

Eg : people might as well start work at 12, take part time O level, part time diploma, part time degree and have an unmatched number of working experience as compared to those who study all the way direct till degree.
