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.

Again, degree dey often refer to broad category of knowledge, while skills dey refer to specific ability or expertise. Employers dey find people wey get specific skills wey go fit meet di exact needs of their company, instead of general knowledge wey fit no dey useful.

For conclusion, even though degree still fit dey important for many people wey dey find job, e no be everything when e reach to get job or move forward for career. Employers dey look more and more for people wey get specific skills wey go fit apply directly for the job and fit help the company succeed. For today job market, e dey important pass ever to focus on develop skills wey dey demand, so you go fit increase your chance to get job and move forward for your career.

Both skills and degrees are extremely important, so I don't see any reason why we should pick from them. If a skill is said to be the ability to do something well or technique acquired, then a degree is a form of skill. Think about it, doctors can't do what lawyers do, and lawyers can't do what Economists do. Your degree is a piece of evidence that you've learned a special socially needed skill. There are several opportunities one may lose for not having a degree. Economists are usually hired for their extra data analysis skills.

So, endpoint degrees aren't everything and skills aren't everything. Both are valuable and needed.
