Plenty reasons why skill dey important pass degree na say di job market dey always change. Wit new technologies and methodologies wey dey develop every time, many of di skills wey people bin dey consider important before fit no dey relevant again. As result, employers dey look for candidates wey fit quick quick learn and adapt to new skills, instead of people wey get degree for specific field.
Actually the two are very important because in as much as we feel that industries and construction site are changing which requires more different skills that's how they will also need more graduate or rather degree holders because in the industry or construction sites there are things they called Isometric drawing on the engineering field that has so many calculations and is mostly an engineer with a degree holder that can be able breakdown those diagrams for the skill workers to understand what they are supposed to do so there is no way we can exclude the importance of being a degree holder.
But although in times of the possibility of getting a job through skills is far more easier than getting a job through your degree because is very obvious that every sectors needs skills workers that specialized on different field so perhaps that's why in most industries and construction sites if the skill workers are 1000 persons the people employs through there degree could possibly not to be up to 100 persons because there work doesn't use to be much so that's just the few different I see on the both.
