School is not a guarantee of becoming successful so I don't know why people always expect those with certificate to be always good with other things or even in their places of work the fact is that it's not every thing that you learn in school so there are things that you develop inside of you on personal basis so the basis of success should not be base on school

Who says school can be the basis of one's success? School is to build your base, not to build the basis of your success. Those who don't go to school tend to know way less than those who attend school and focus on their studies. In arguments where we say that skills are more important than degrees, we shouldn't forget that initial education is important for everyone, even for thsoe who later decide to acquire different skills than what they studied for because you can only learn things easily if you have a good base, and to have a good base, you need to have basic education.

Skills have their role to play in  life so school is not just enough try and get a skill even though you are a graduate because doing that is putting yourself in front and positioning yourself for opportunities that may come in the future because the fact is that there are no jobs even for the graduates to work

Exactly, one can always acquire other skills even when they are done with their degrees and everything. These days, learning a skill barely takes a few months if you focus. So many people are learning digital skills online by just watching video lessons on YouTube and practicing on their computers, but imagine someone who doesn't even know how to operate a computer because they don't have basic education and understanding of such things. That's why, both are important.
