Skills all the way.
You'll always think these persons saying skills over school are so lazy that they don't want to go to school until you see a first class graduate on the streets with no good thing to show forth.
Skills and education are both equally important, because school not only teaches knowledge but also teaches good manners in the real world. However, if we look at the business and economic sectors, skills will certainly be prioritized, because the knowledge in school isn't comprehensive enough, even if all students study from first grade to graduation. So, don't underestimate either one, because each has its own advantages that we can utilize for certain purposes, even if the ultimate goal is to increase our own income.
