Skills, not degrees, take you far – The Hindu (June 06, 2016)
Multiple qualifications won’t fetch you your dream job, skill-based training can.
A year ago, I met a mechanical engineer who had more interest in business analytics than mechanics. He obviously did not have the option of throwing away four years of study and starting afresh.

The skills versus degrees dilemma happens all over the world. I have many friends in Canada as well who have got degrees that did not benefit them because they did not have the skills. As such, they are working in different fields. For further reading, visit “The Hindu”.
