Dear All,

Education supposed to impart a mixture of knowledge and skills. But majority of conventional education system delivers knowledge and lagging in skills. Nevertheless, at present, evaluation of knowledge in the exam is also not satisfactory. Getting a GPA of 7 or 8 is quite easy nowadays and 10GPA is possible.

I am quoting my own research some years back: I tested career interest of MBA aspirants, who have pretty good PGCET/CAT scores and joining for MBA course.That means they have a good aptitude for management education. However, 42% of them have opted management education as their least preferred career interest. If given a choice,they wanted to study something else, but not management education (But joined for MBA)!

Degrees you could get with least interest in that field of education. but skills require lot of effort from one side.

Its more or less like what Americans usually prefer in education for offering a job, they generally prefer the skills not the education. If at all someone who has appropriate education but skills irrelevant to the education, the employer prefers skills than his education and ultimately the candidate ends up getting a job relevant to his skill and potentials not to his education.

For eg. lets take any such candidates who are successful or at least happy in their jobs, might not have any logic related to his job, but he is a hardcore skilled person on it. But, in the long run this kind of tendency to choose skilled rather than educated would lose the potential growth of the business about which they are ignorant today.

Growth in credentials is challenging long-held notions about the value of a traditional degree. Employers, job seekers and students are increasingly recognizing the value of a micro-credential, such as a nano-degree from Udacity, a specialization from Coursera or an e-portfolio on LinkedIn. If employers don't need us to source talent, what will that mean? How will that impact demand, reputation and focus?
