Years of experience ... singlular or plural?
This particular phrasing has me confused. Any help much appreciated!
Should it be:
"3 years of experience are required."
OR
"3 years of experience is required."
Is "years" the subject, here, or is it "experience"?

" You could use either, but the second is the more reasonable, as the concern is about the singular period of time.
