In my field of construction (electrical) education means absolutely nothing. I was on the deans list for my graduating class and it doesn't result in me getting more pay per hour. However my experience has allowed me to do service work on some of calgary's most expensive homes, and these service calls pay quite well. No one cares if a deans award winning electrician is wiring in a new plug for them. If you are referring to any blue collar jobs, I would argue that the list of priorities would go
1) Experience
2) Personal Drive
3) Education
