Everyday we are living our lives full of competitions. We do not usually notice it but we are always competing with one another. It might be in studies, jobs, lifestyle etc. Degree and Skills are the two most important things needed in our life. Some people have extremely good skills through continuous practice or either since their birth. But, to sustain in this world, we also need a certain degree.
But, there are some examples of people who have succeeded in their life through their skills like Bill Gates. On the other hand, there are some people who have really good degrees but still aren't successful. If a degree verifies whether a person is fit for the particular job or not, then the skill makes the person more confident and also helps achieve the goal. If you go and search for a job, a degree will definitely be asked but skill is the one that will attract them, so it will be a lot easier to get the job and get employed at that particular place. Everyone has their own different opinions on this particular topic but personally, in my point of view both are equally necessary. So, to fit in any job and in any part of the world both degree and skills are important.
A person should learn to balance both degree and skills in his/her life. Both are required for the growth of a person. Even though it depends upon the wish of a person, on how long they want to continue their studies, usually the degree will stop at a certain age of a person and will not be able to attain the education but skills can never get stopped. It is all up to us, skills can be learnt and gained at any age and at any possible time. So, along with the studies it is always a good idea to learn something new everyday and enhance the skills we have even more. So, a person with a good degree and skills tend to get more opportunities and succeed in their life.
