School or Skills?

[HajiBagi]

I know many people try to downplay education these days, but let us be honest, most jobs you are going to seek will require you to have a degree at least before you can apply. It is usually during the interview phase that your interviewer would test your knowledge and know if you have the skills required to take up that role, irrespective of how good your degree says you are, but you see, without the degree you are already disqualified.

That said, both school and skills are important, go to school, get a degree, learn a skill, do all you can to make yourself more relevant and indispensable, there is no use picking one over the other.

Both are very important because if you don't have them, you won't be able to get a job or secure a good job, but if we check it very well, school is better because through school you can be able to get the both accept you didn't have a good practice before you graduate, teach us everything on how to be educated and have skills in case we don't get a job, we can use our skills to do something for ourselves without depending on anyone. For me, school is the best because without an education, you are still an illiterate, and no matter how skilled you are, people will not appreciate you more than a graduate. Even if it is difficult to obtain an after-school job, it is preferable to be a graduate with some skills rather than having only skills.

Skills all the way.

You'll always think these persons saying skills over school are so lazy that they don't want to go to school until you see a first class graduate on the streets with no good thing to show forth.

I really don’t know what you mean by skill all the way, in a common sense, and in a country that is well organized and in the western world, you’ll not find a graduate who doesn’t have a job, unless the so called graduate doesn’t want to work, I will always tell you that School is better than skill, because you need education to learn how to read and write, and education is more likely that you are building your future, but skill is quite good in the sense that if you don’t have a job you can be sustaining with your skill, But in a western world you will not see a graduate with a first class degree in the street, that can possibly happen in Africa most especially in Nigeria, And in the western world if you go to look for a job they will most likely ask for your degree and your resume, which is for people who are educated and not for skill holders, even in Nigeria and Africa they will ask you for degrees if you go to apply for most jobs, you’ll require a certificate of education to have a very lucrative job.

Schools are giving knowledge to the children which is basic for the children because it  will give more awareness to the children. Children are not happy to study and they want to play games and they want to enjoy life. People are doing progress with the knowledge because initial knowledge is important for everyone as people want to be knowledgeable person in life. Children are the future of the family and without knowledge they will be illiterate and we will see no educated person in our area. Skills are also important in life as we want comfort in life and car driving is need of that time because most of the people have car.Skills are requirement of everybody because these will give income to us and it is necessary to meet the expenses of us and we need to focus on that .
