For an MBA, it would be some type of business experience, although many of us had other types–military, non-profit, even things like professional musician or conductor. The coursework is much richer for students’ participation. You can tell an MBA student right out of college–they are very rigid and naive often.
For other schools, same thing. Usually law schools take people right out of school, but public health, journalism, social work, international affairs, etc. desire some experience for most of the student body.

This means that they want someone who has worked in the field in which they are getting their graduate degree. For example, a lot of MBA programs require students to have several years of significant work experience before enrolling. What they mean is that they want you to have gotten the kind of job that someone would normally get after graduating from college (a career-oriented job) and have worked your way up several steps in the organization.
