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?
Here an interesting dilemma arises. It is important for any employer that their employees perform their job duties well. This is impossible without certain skills that are formed with experience. But quality skills can only be built on fundamental basic knowledge, which is obtained in educational settings (let's be honest, not in all of them). As an employer, I would not rush from one extreme to another and therefore would prefer an employee with education and skills. That is, after receiving an education, he must gain experience, where he will receive the necessary skills, which, together with the education received, will make him a true professional.
Education without skills is a dummy.
Skills without education - this can work up to a certain point, but one day the lack of theoretical knowledge will interfere with work processes.
Balance is important here, meaningful education (not like in the modern education system), on which a lot of time is not wasted, and skills - based on basic knowledge.
