The rest have to go with the traditional way, earning an educational degree and trying to look for the best job for their niche. A lot of people say that degrees don't matter, all you need is knowledge, skills, and experience, I only partly agree with that, because a person who is the sole breadwinner for their family can't just keep trying to get success through their skills and they eventually have to find a way to at least earn some money to survive.

.

So whether or not you have an academic degree depends on each individual's opinion, there are those who hope to get a job from the government with a guaranteed monthly salary and pension, but those who don't have an academic degree hope to become big entrepreneurs.

Your academy degree doesn't guarantee a job especially with the government in some countries. That means getting degree for job depends on the country you leave. In Nigeria,due to corruption, a man with no degree that can speak English can be offer a government job while graduate with degree may not get any.

Things are always awkward in insane countries, Nigeria is unfortunately one of them where things are upside down. Regardless, education is good, it will always give you leverage irrespective of how you want to look at it. We should not forget the fact that luck also plays its way out in securing a job, which is why people with fewer qualifications could secure a better job than people who are more qualified. Other players here are politics and connection, this is happening so well in countries, the more you know people or are politically exposed, the better the chance you have, including anyone close to you to get job benefits.

However, I advise anyone living in a country like Nigeria to always have plan B, the leaders are corrupt and clueless. So, you fight for your life, or else, you waste it believing in a white-collar job.
