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?
Absolutely, a lot of people think that school doesn't worth it. If I will answer your first question, I will said a capital "Yes" the reason is because of the failure of the educational system, there are countless graduates on the ground that could not secure a better job. They will spend a huge amount of money on schooling, they will study very hard to get a better results, and graduate with good grade. But at the end of the day they will not be able to secure a better job. After all their hard work, efforts, time, dedication and money spent, they all go in vain. This is so disappointing and it makes a lot of people lost their belive in the statement "Education is the key". That is why they prefer skills over education.
