School or Skills?

[Ricardo11]

I agree with you, in fact, none of them is more important then other, both are equally important, if you want to live a completely uninterrupted life, you have to use these two things together because the importance of these two things has to be applied equally in every aspect of your life. Only a certificate without any kind of practical skills and experience is not enough to manage your life properly, and again, without any kind of certificate with only skills and experience, you will not be able to stand at a good level, so you have to prepare yourself for both things without giving importance to any of them. Educational qualifications and practical skills, only if you can keep these two in the right balance, you will be successful.

No one forbids, no regulation forces us to choose one or the other and we all realize that if someone can possess both degree and skills. We will have more opportunities and be easier to succeed in work and life, why don't we try to achieve both instead of having to choose one or the other?

Or we are forced to choose, it will depend and each person will have different choices. If we live in a well-off family and our parents are able to provide for us to go to school and have the opportunity to achieve higher degrees. There is no reason to turn down that opportunity and choose skill. On the contrary, if we are unlucky and do not have the conditions to go to school, learning skills is a more suitable choice.

This is the main point, if the youth try to achieve both instead of choosing one, then it will be the best decision. In today's competitive world, it is never possible to achieve anything good by relying on only one. But the financial situation is also a factor, and everyone's situation is not the same. But if you have the opportunity, why don't you use it? Of course, if you have the opportunity, you should try to take your education to the highest level. You have to make the right decision according to the situation. If you have the opportunity, you should focus on improving your skills as well as obtaining a degree. If you have both qualities, the door to success is always open.

Pursuing both together is wrong because you must do it well whatever you do. If you do not choose a school, you must study well. For this, it is very wrong to focus on something else. On the other hand, when it comes to acquiring skills, it is seen that you cannot devote time to studying well. It is challenging to pursue both together, but even in this, many people who can work very hard do so. However, it would be best to choose one of them carefully. First, you should focus on educational qualifications and move towards acquiring skills. I think it is foolish to acquire skills without considering educational qualifications.

Well, you're right. We aren't forced to choose one of them. If it is possible to get both of them, why not to go to school and learn skills together? I'm also a person who have done it together. I was a student of a university and I went to some courses when I have free time. I didn't learn full day at university, I have the time to learn skills in some courses at that time.

We are only expected to choose one of them if we have no ability to have both of them. Yep, at least we can have skills if it is impossible to go to school. Skills is likely more effective for the people who want to get jobs immediately.

By my assumptions, there are strong indications already that we are moving past an era where employers put educational qualifications at the fore front of their requirement for employment into certain positions, some employers now hold personal qualities such as skills possessed by the individual ahead of the school they went to and the degree they graduated with. First, I would like to ask, could this be a reflection of a failing educational system? My second question is that if you happen to be the employer here, which will you consider more, school or skills?

If you take education in life, that education never fails. If a person is educated, an uneducated person will never be compared to that educated person. Therefore, the importance of education will remain throughout life, education will never be looked down upon and should not be. If a person is educated, he can do any work with his talent, but an uneducated person will not be able to do any work that an educated person can do. Therefore, if I appoint a person to my organization, I must first evaluate the educational qualifications of that person and then evaluate his skills.

To apply for a job, you need to have both education and skills. This is not the case as you think. There are many flaws in our education system, not in all countries but especially in some countries. We fail to provide practical education to our students along with formal education, students do not know much outside the textbooks or are not being educated in moral education or are not being skilled in their graduation. They are only being educated, in the job market it is not enough to be educated only but you also have to be skilled in the relevant subject.

[EFS]

It should be both. It depends on the work to be done but just going to school or solely specializing in something is often not enough. If you graduate from one of good universities with strong programs you always have an advantage. However, learning practical skills relevant to the field you will be working in is what will set you apart from others.
When selecting an employee, a diploma alone is not enough. The ability to make the right decisions under pressure, leadership qualities, thinking differently from others and problem-solving skills are key factors to consider. Of course, what I mentioned applies to jobs that require intellectual effort.

Pursuing both together is wrong because you must do it well whatever you do. If you do not choose a school, you must study well. For this, it is very wrong to focus on something else. On the other hand, when it comes to acquiring skills, it is seen that you cannot devote time to studying well. It is challenging to pursue both together, but even in this, many people who can work very hard do so. However, it would be best to choose one of them carefully. First, you should focus on educational qualifications and move towards acquiring skills. I think it is foolish to acquire skills without considering educational qualifications.

It is not foolish to acquire skills without proper education, but it's better if you can have both. Many people don't get to complete their degrees or have a proper academic qualification, but they tend to become skilful in something as time goes by. We often see people trying to have skills other than what their major has actually been, and it's because our interests may shift over time, maybe because of the scope we see in other industries, or maybe because we were forced to choose a major that we never liked in the first place.

In today's world, having an academic degree is not as important as it is to have proper skills to succeed. I know we shouldn't always look up to these things, but many very successful and wealthy people in the world never completed their college; Mark Zuckerberg is one name among them.

So, it's all about learning things that can make you reach a higher place in life, and that can be achieved even without a degree if you are ambitious and hard working.

Looking at our present society, and the way the world is developing each day, i can strongly believe that having a skill is better to school.. I'm not against schooling though, but in the world where technology is evolving on each day and seeing people who works outside of their field is not encouraging in most companies and this makes them not to function well. Reasons being that they are just looking for a means to survive and put food on their table..

Have also seen cases where the skilled are Bosses, CEO's in their own businesses, companies and even employing those with the certificate paying them for their services.. we cant overemphasis on the importance of having a skill this days considering how the system is now, some companies or organization will choose to employ a man who has obtain some level of skilled training and has worked with it for a number of years to someone with the degree PAPERS. some who are functioning in business though graduate from different schools, discipline are doing so well, with the skills they've learnt so far..

Acquiring skills should be encouraged this days, you can even decide to go back to school when you're established. some children spent years in the four walls of the classroom, and end up not amounting to anything, but does so well in any training or skill of their choice. for me having a skill is way too important..

If you are growing right now, the best thing to do is make sure you learn a skill before going to the higher institution, or when you are in school, try and involve yourself in something, don’t just depend on your certificate alone, because only your certificate might not be enough for you, it might not get you a good job, but when you visit an organization, and they notice that you have both the certificate, and skill, then they will want you, most companies will be fighting to get people like that.

If I own a company, and am suppose to employ someone into my company, then I will have to pick skills over education, because I know the person with the skills will be the one to offer me what I really want.

Skills give us the opportunity to get a better job, degrees will give us the opportunity to advance in our career in the long run. Combining both of these flexibly will give us access and more opportunities in life than those who only have skills or degrees.

If we want to have a lot of money, want to be successful, and to be rich, we need to have all the necessary elements. We cannot just choose one or the other, and think that there is a shortcut that will help us become rich and successful in life.

[summonerrk]

The best, of course, would be a combination when a young person studies where he likes and at the same time, he loves this business and literally lives it. For example, if we take IT specialists, then Information Technology is part of their life. They constantly love computers, are interested in them, and are passionate about them, they cannot imagine their life without computers.
And when such a guy also works in this specialty, then he is a real professional, but, unfortunately, in our life, most people do not do what they would like to do, but work at the job that is available to them.

Actually in today's competitive world, one can never achieve anything good or move forward by being skilled in only one subject. A person who is skilled and best in all aspects, is ahead in every company or job in every subject. One can never consider oneself perfect, there is no end to education and skill, and the combination of these two takes a person forward the most. So educate yourself as much as possible and gain skills, these two things are equally important to achieve big goals in life.

[Huppercase]

This is the main point, if the youth try to achieve both instead of choosing one, then it will be the best decision. In today's competitive world, it is never possible to achieve anything good by relying on only one. But the financial situation is also a factor, and everyone's situation is not the same. But if you have the opportunity, why don't you use it? Of course, if you have the opportunity, you should try to take your education to the highest level. You have to make the right decision according to the situation. If you have the opportunity, you should focus on improving your skills as well as obtaining a degree. If you have both qualities, the door to success is always open.

It's because today lifestyle has change is why the need for school and skills matter. Before, you can just go to school and achieve what you want to be in life but today where there is recession, there is high inflation and reduction in purchasing power, it's difficult to bag a dream job. It's possible though but the chance are slim and it's jot worth it to waste all your years in school and not get what you actually study in school especially when your job is very specific.

The big challenge here is there are some disciplines in school that you may actually need to either choose your career in school or face the skills. As a medical student that want to be focus on your field, there is no way you will have extra time for any skilis because of the time factor. You might spent 7 years studying and not have time for yourself not to talk about the skill you want to do. There are other special courses in school that are very demanding in time that can stop you from doing skills.

School and skills complement each other. One is incomplete without the other, but if you say useless then you are wrong. Both skills and education have their own value, but one is less valuable without the other. That is, one is incomplete without the other. To become an expert in any subject, you first need knowledge and then you have to acquire skills. Sometimes skills are completed independently while a job depends only on skills. But such jobs are rarely available. We have to give equal importance to both education and skills.

Saying education is useless is wrong and maybe I don't agree with that view, but when it comes to skills without education people can also get them, but for certain skills we need education.
If education was not important, maybe scientists would not have discovered something meaningful now, so saying education is not important is a mistake.
Education and skills do complement each other and I agree because if one loses its place in someone, they will not be able to develop.

Some people think that without education people can also achieve financial success so that everyone is equal.
In fact, in some cases it happens because they also study even though they are not in formal education.

Its never been useless and the fact that this is something on which someone do really need to have on which having that finished up studies or having a degree. Whether we do like it or not, we would really be that becoming adults as years passing by and at the moment that you hadnt been able to finish up then getting a job will really be that challenging. Somehow there are those individuals who do able to make themselves that getting such success due to hardwork and perseverance on which we know that it could really happen, plus having that mix of luck because not all people who hadnt been able to go to school ended up on successful. Having those inspiring stories with those billionaires that we've known? There's always that an exemption because thinking or brilliant ideas isnt always that available on certain individuals, but somehow having these kind of inspiration will really be that pushing you to persevere and sustain no matter what on the challenges that you will be able to experience. The primary thing that you should be putting up into your mind is on having that to finish up your school plus trying out to enhance up your skills on which it will really be that getting in line into the possible course or career path on which you would really be that wanting to take. Multiple skills will really be that ideal too on which you can be put up on different positions on which this is really that an advantage. For those people who doesnt really want to become a worker or employee then this is the time or moment that they will be thinking on doing business or investment on which this will really that giving the freedom on breaking up the chain on being a 9-5 worker. There are people who do become successful on their own ways and this is why it will really be that varying on different conditions or situations when it comes into this aspect.

It is true that these two things certainly complement each other and it will be very different for someone who has a lot of knowledge in working with those who have a lot of experience in doing a job but if someone can have both of these things of course they will be able to do the job easily and will also be able to finish it well.
The type of job that relies on skills is not uncommon to be obtained but before we can master the type of skill well of course we have to focus on learning the type of skill until we become an expert and when we have become an expert in that field of course we will be able to do the job well.

Pursuing both together is wrong because you must do it well whatever you do. If you do not choose a school, you must study well. For this, it is very wrong to focus on something else. On the other hand, when it comes to acquiring skills, it is seen that you cannot devote time to studying well. It is challenging to pursue both together, but even in this, many people who can work very hard do so. However, it would be best to choose one of them carefully. First, you should focus on educational qualifications and move towards acquiring skills. I think it is foolish to acquire skills without considering educational qualifications.

It is not foolish to acquire skills if you don't have the opportunity to get educational qualifications. It depends the one that's more realistic for you to to first. Not everyone has the opportunity of getting educated at the initial stage of their life, does it mean that they should waste their life waiting for education? The best approach is to get your skills and make your living from there. And when you have raised money for practicing your skills, you can proceed in getting education by registering in the part time studies. Everyone one good things in life, but it's unfortunate that people don't usually get all that they want at the initial stage, but gradually you will build towards that by starting with the best option that present itself.

I tried to summarize your post which is quite long and maybe it can be discussed about the essence.
Education does not guarantee someone to achieve wealth, but education provides insight to achieve perfection of knowledge.
Even people who do not go to school have much more wealth compared to people who go to school.
But in a further capacity I never agree if education is considered unimportant because it is something that must be taken by people.

Everyone has a different path in life and we cannot say the same, but for the issue of education it is quite important even though they do not go to high school.
If you do not want to be an employee, then it is time to build your own empire in business or investment so that someone can do it in their own style.

It would be foolish if we were given the opportunity to get educational qualifications but turned it down because of the misconception that education and degrees are no longer important in today's era. A misconception is being spread by unemployed recent graduates.

On the contrary, if we are not lucky enough and do not have the conditions to get educational qualifications. Learning a skill is an extremely wise decision because there is no better way for people without education to still have opportunities in life. Skills are the best solution for them.
