I think it is a very natural thing when there are some people who have other skills outside the formal education they have attended in school or lectures. But some of the people I saw at my place actually went through that education just to get a diploma and wanted everyone to admit that they already had a certain title, but they didn't have any skills at all. And I think this is a very strange thing because after several years of education, they still can't do anything and are not even productive enough for themselves.
This is due to the lack of land for them to develop the knowledge they have acquired during their education. It could be because they are wrong in choosing the right field of study that makes it difficult for them to develop their skills. If they go to college according to their talents, surely they will know what to do after they finish college. In this case, I can say that they went to college just to join in.
If people find it difficult to practice what they are being taught in school, that shouldn't stop them from learning other skills that can be productive to them, their are many skills that one can choose that will be suitable. Not everyone ends up in practicing what is been taught in school, most people after school they get any skill and make it a career. I don't see reason why people would allow what they learned from school that they can't practice stop them from learning any skill.
