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.
Overall, education and skill are two sides that cannot be separated from each other and believing indeed you have highest skill if lack education get difficulty how to find good job for right now moment. Its trues experienced in my country Indonesia what happening nowadays however your skill if lack with education level you get difficulty to find good job with higher payment salary.
First of all when applying for a job, requirements are needed with the level of education, the higher the education the easier it is to get a job plus having qualified skills. It is different if you have quite high skills but are not balanced with a little education level, it is difficult to get a decent job. So most important to remember, skill without education is nothing for right now and conversely education without skills make difficult for accepting at company, make it balance between your education and your skill.
