There is a lot of talk these days about a college degree being less valuable (and more expensive) than years ago. I totally agree for the following reasons:
ReplyDeleteBEFORE - You could learn a lot of what you needed to know for your career in university.
NOW - Half of what you learn will be obsolete before you graduate.
BEFORE - You needed to get hired by an employer.
NOW - You can go it yourself much easier and we're all independent contractors.
BEFORE - It was about what you know.
NOW - It's about how quickly you can learn new things.
The only real value of a degree from a good university seems to be as an indicator of future success.
What you said is so true!
ReplyDeleteNow a days education has less significance looking at what you are going to do in the industry, the industry which evolves everyday and transforms to adapt itself.
Yes, i agree that a degree is just an indicator of the capabilities and the future success.
