If you’re under 30 & still compiling the list of your 2020 resolutions then let me help you.

Shelve all your plans for MSc, PhD & other academic related programs & channel the resources in Favour of skills development.

Academics are in the past while skills is for now & future.

Someone asked on my DM: What kind of skills? Good question.

My answer, both objective skills like physical goods & subjective skills like services or digital ones

Eg. look around where you are right now, what did you see, which one of those things you see are you able to build?

Each of those things you see are made by someone who created it in form of value in which money was used to exchange it. That money goes to those among you that have the skills of making those things.

That is your money and your career if you build the necessary skills for it.

When you look around you, you’ll clearly why you are not getting enough money or saving enough.

You get all those monies and surrender them to skillful person who made your shoes, bags, home appliances, bed shirts, tooth picks, chairs, paints, plumbing etc. Why don’t you do it?

As far as I am concerned, the time of curricula based education is death and gone. Time for knowledge and skills development is now.

All our universities should be converted to skills center while all lectures should move back to colleges of education. That’s where they belong.
