I have always been following up on his debate about how school degrees are useless, and several people complain about not getting jobs, this most of the time trend X space, Instagram or Facebook. At first, I thought people were using this to gain followers and do content, but life experiences have taught me a lot about both.

Being educated gives a man a big privilege not just in his society or country but also in other countries. I have been fortunate to fall on both parts of this comparison, and it has been so far, based on my experience, we both need ourselves. Being skilled and not being educated has its own weakness, and being educated and not being skilled also has its own weakness.
We are in a fast-growing era, and there are limited organisations to employ people and graduates because the economy is really bad for growing a business, but trust me, which is why we get to see degrees as useless, which is not meant to be so. A degree is a big achievement and should not be compared with skills. Skill on the other hand has its own advantages and it's a fast way to earn money, but can a man use his skill to operate on a pregnant woman without a doctor, can a man use his skill to win a law case without a good lawyer,
I want people to understand that there is a huge difference in degree and skills because everyone can actually have both, but no one can have a degree without going through University and the normal process, unlike skills that you can learn within a year and start earning.

The only disadvantage I have with a degree is that some degrees are not worth learning; instead, just go learn skills and move on with it. Some skills will make you look so unimportant, and it is not really worth your time. This is why the job market is very competitive and annoying, because I see no reason why a man would go and learn some courses, I wouldn't want to mention any, so I won't criticise someone else's occupation. One of the skill I can boast of is printing Engineering which I learnt from my daddy.
Having a skill is an advantage same with also a degree and trust me they are both needed in the society so characteristizing one useless over the other is not a good approach measures, we need both and if a man chooses a skill over degree society or family shouldnmot be against it amd also if a man chooses a degree over a skill, society should not be against the man also. Being a doctor, a nurse, a lawyer or other career requires a degree or certification to prove you are capable of handling the task.
In conclusion, I will just suggest we should be observant of the courses we study, especially in a competitive job market like this, if we might struggle to get a job and end up surviving on the skills we have. Having a skill, too, is a good approach in society. Anyone can get rich or wealthy or even live comfortably, having one or both or even both together.
