The main concern is that technology is advancing at a very rapid pace, going to college and getting a degree won't cut it anymore. You need to constantly be advancing your skills and keep on acquiring new knowledge. With that being said, it's quite stressful to think that we're easily replaceable. I studied economics and IT isn't exactly my field. Statistics is my strong point so I'm considering to be invested into data analysis, an advancing sector which is also usually offered remotely.
Qualities only to get a degree is not enough because if someone does not have skills will make it difficult for them to survive. Any work sector requires skills to make us calculated and technology that has been developed many things that can be utilized to make money, depending on the skills we have as supporters. Whatever fields are controlled can make money, but we must dare to take the risk of implementing it.
I prefer the economic field as a runway to make money and there are many small businesses that I have built even though many have failed. What makes me like the economic field because we can become the owner of my own business even though the scope of the business that we build is still relatively small and I am typical of people who do not like dictated so that working in its own way is much more comfortable.
