Skills should be taken seriously the government needs to implement it as part of the things students are though in school it will help to reduce the level of dependency in jobs and different expectations from the government if different people are trained to solve different problems using their skills it helps them to stand out and become useful and stable financially if they apply their skills to work.
The moment the government introduced entrepreneurship into the school curriculum I knew the support ended there. Skill acquisition programs are all over the web, buy not everyone has the momentum to go ahead or fight against a broken system. Only the few who could fix a broken system gets to win in this current economy. Finding out the headache, and inventing the right pills for it. The world is filled with daily problems people face, and because they won't solve it, they go out to seek help from skilled people. So, the outstanding professional makes the most money.
