@Fitnessfoundry It really depends what one wants to do with their life in terms of a career. Would anyone want to be treated by a cardio-thoracic surgeon who did not have the appropriate medical degrees? Although #degrees are not essential for success in life they are important milestones for some professions. #Education #Careers
@bibliolater @Fitnessfoundry And again, generally speaking, no one is an outlier by not having one. In the UK, we only just reached the 50% mark in terms of people progressing to higher education.
@cathitza @bibliolater Well said and thanks for sharing.
@bibliolater 💯Agee and thanks for sharing.
@bibliolater @Fitnessfoundry A degree gives you more options. Statistically, it increases your chances of earning more over your lifetime. Higher levels of training/skill are becoming more important in the job market, as automation takes over more routine tasks requiring less skill. These means demand for degrees will increase.
But these are general points. There are, of course, people who are successful without degrees (and everyone has their own definition of 'success').
