Looking at my own team, our best performers came from non-traditional backgrounds but brought specialized skills and proven track records. One guy never finished high school but built three successful DeFi protocols from scratch. Another has multiple degrees but couldn't adapt to changing market conditions. True life story.
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
Attending school make one knowledge foundation strong. Besides, the current job system in my country give priority to those who has higher education. Decent job here needs school certificates, without them one will end up being jobless or working at the lowest level of job hierarchy. With this kind of system, we cannot blame people to prioritize seeking out diplomas and certificate.
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
See? "no jobs even for the graduates to work" what more to those who lacks the qualification? I agree that skill is important, but compare the two person with the same kind of skill level but the other one went to school that specialized on that skill against the person who just have the skill but does not attend any specialized courses for that skill.
The one that has more knowledge about that skill performs better in terms of strategy, planning and troubleshooting. Assuming that they are both in an entry level of being an apprentice.
By my assumptions, there are strong indications already that we are moving past an era where employers put educational qualifications at the fore front of their requirement for employment into certain positions, some employers now hold personal qualities such as skills possessed by the individual ahead of the school they went to and the degree they graduated with. First, I would like to ask, could this be a reflection of a failing educational system? My second question is that if you happen to be the employer here, which will you consider more, school or skills?
Skills and values over school and institutions
Any day of the week
You can teach a hard working person but changing values like honesty/dishonesty is hard
School is mostly a social place nowadays, not really a guarantee of having a job anymore
Let’s see if it can adapt otherwise the amount of people having a hard time will probably be even greater
Values and character is molded at home. So don't blame school for this.
