I agree with you, in fact, none of them is more important then other, both are equally important, if you want to live a completely uninterrupted life, you have to use these two things together because the importance of these two things has to be applied equally in every aspect of your life. Only a certificate without any kind of practical skills and experience is not enough to manage your life properly, and again, without any kind of certificate with only skills and experience, you will not be able to stand at a good level, so you have to prepare yourself for both things without giving importance to any of them. Educational qualifications and practical skills, only if you can keep these two in the right balance, you will be successful.
For this one, I would say that they are intertwined and interrelated.
Maybe for some people will choose one of the two but as long as we can get skills accompanied by education to get a degree why not?
Skills now do make it possible to make a good thing for the future but it cannot be denied with the current world of work system, sometimes skills alone are not enough because there are other qualifications such as education or degrees that sometimes become a deterrent.
On the one hand, it does not mean that in this case we should pay more attention to education than skills because it is also a mistake because education is only a means to get a degree for now (like it or not the fact is like that) so we must also be able to balance the education we have with good qualifications in skills, abilities and hard work so that all elements can be beneficial for us in supporting life in the future.
