Degree or skill – what is more important?

What’s much more important than the area of study is the result achieved and how you can demonstrate what you were studying has equipped you with skills you will take forward into a career. All degree subjects require some level of research skills, analysing information, working in groups effectively, presenting information in a way which makes it clear for others. The important aspect of any application is understanding these skills and how they’re relevant for the job to which you’re applying.

Skills acquired outside of your studies are also important. Have you been part of a society? Had a part time job? Involved with a sports team? Done voluntary work? All of these activities show that you’ve stretched yourself, put yourself in positions where you acquire new skills and developed yourself outside a purely academic space.

Work experience is really important. However, it doesn’t necessarily have to be relevant work experience. It’s about being able to talk about any work experience and the skills you have acquired and used and applying those to a new role. What skills did you pick up that will make you great for the graduate role you’re applying to?

If you study what you love, your degree will feel less like hard work and more like a series of fascinating questions.
Degree is the theoretical evaluation of an abstract concept which is virtually not possible. It is the skill that helps the person to grow up both materially / financially and immaterially with respect to the status, importance, social respect and recognition etc. Degree definitely has its own importance, as a person need to have some skill in order to achieve the degree. A complete dumb individual cannot qualify to attain the degree. Hence , we can summarize by saying that the degree is the first step in the ladder of skills which leads to the success in life.
