Topic: Is academic pursues enough to get incomes? - page 5. (Read 1943 times)

Getting a degree does not necessarily guarantee success, rather your success depends on other factors, such as your skills, hard work, and dedication. It can help you determine how you want to lead your life, but it is not the only reason for your success. A degree can help you gain valuable educational experience, but it is not entirely dependent on determining your life's earning path. It depends on your knowledge, skills, interests, and circumstances. You can achieve any kind of future success in your career, you can carefully improve your professional skills and qualifications.

Experience puts people one step ahead of others. How experience is gained is also important. Which company and which school are the reference points of your experience? This is also a very important issue. Nowadays there are many people graduating from the same department, but what you need to be different from others is to gain experience.

Sometimes it is not that easy to gain experience because a good company wants experience from you, but sometimes you have to work for low wages and under difficult conditions to gain experience. This is one of the tiring parts of working life.

Focusing on your area of interest allows you to do what you love while gaining experience. Everyone gains experience in some way, but gaining experience by working in a field of interest is a plus.

To be able to get a job, of course we have to have good experience and also have knowledge in the field we want. Of course it will be easier to get a job and if we want a job in a company, of course we also need an educational certificate that we take in accordance with the request of the company.

I agree with you, it is better for us to choose to focus on the field that we are interested in and if we have talent in the field that we are interested in, of course it will be easier for us to do that job. We never feel bored at that job because we have a job that suits us. Opening a business is very good if we have a skill that we can do and we also have to train it well so that the business we run can run well and we have to do it consistently so we can get good results from what we do.

  But it’s still important to get the degree still even when the jobs are not available yet so that when the job finally comes you will have the upper hand than those who didn’t, when they are employing them as worker you might be the manager. With you qualification you can attest to that position in the industry where non qualified workers are employed. Same way it’s important for those who work 9 to 5 to have a skill or some side hustle to supplement the one they have. Because with the current inflation rate having one stream of income won’t be enough to keep up. Having multiple streams of income will boost your savings. Some people have achieve success with the help of their degree, that they don’t have to find other Jobs. But then you know not all finger are not equal, if there’s  any need to move to from your academic qualification to learning a skill please don’t hesitate. Presently people are breaking loose from the matrix and it’s circular system to being on their own, because being your own boss is  fantastic.
  We still have some people who can’t still handle being their boss, they prefer to work under someone cause they feel they like and can handle  the pressure of working under someone. But thank God for new technology where you can pick interest in any of the freelancing gigs to earn more, you can even choose to invest in crypto or forex that is if you have the idea about the market. One need to have about 2 to 3 streams of income to be able to beat this inflation rate, your incomes doesn’t have to much 2 to 3 is okay so that you can control your business.

A connection with other people and work experience that is mastered will give you a plus and make it easier to get a job.
Experience cannot be gained quickly, it takes a process.

If someone has an interest in their talent then develop and do all the work.
That will give you the best experience.

Those who have higher education will only become a burden when they have no experience or are unable to master what they do.
Even those who are self-taught without higher education can exceed and even be equal to people who are educated in their fields.

There is no doubt that having the required degree is very important to get any job, but where jobs are not available there is not much point in getting a degree. Your degree can be useful only if you go to another country or other place where the degree jobs you want are available. If that is not possible then I think learning a skill instead of getting more degrees can be the best way for you to earn money.

The purpose of getting more degrees is so that we can get a good job so that we can get a good income. where jobs are scarce or unavailable, I have often seen skilled workers succeeding more than those with more degrees. We have to move according to the opportunity, where there is a trend, if we go with the same trend, then we have more chances of success in the future. It will not do any good to keep the item in the shop where there is no buyer for it.

Exactly, that's a reasonable statement, how can we get a job while on the other hand we have absolutely no experience in that field, and to be able to meet the requirements of the company regarding experience, one of which is that we must work first to gain experience in the same field, so therefore it is quite fortunate for those who have already worked in the field because with that they will find it easier to get a new job with a fairly similar professional field.

Yes that's right, one of the drivers as an action to make it easier for us to find a job or get into one of the companies is to have a close relationship with those who have been in the company or even important people in the company, and also besides that the money factor is also in my opinion no longer a taboo, yes I understand that our goal is to work for money but today is different and money is not uncommon as an alternative to make it easier for them to get into one of the companies, this alternative is quite often used when they have absolutely no experience in this field. Finding a job in the current conditions is quite difficult, maybe only for those who are lucky enough to get an easy job but with a large income. Therefore of course, we should not only focus on one point, always learn in any case, especially positive things, increase the value in ourselves by learning various things that could be useful in the future, learn from those who have succeeded in any case, one of which is business and if you already feel enough knowledge that you get then feel free if you want to start anything like a business because you already have enough knowledge. Indeed, everything is not easy and I say success is only for those who never give up in pursuing their dreams.

In my opinion, academic efforts to earn a decent income depend on the person. Being smart at life and being smart academically are very different things, even different in nature. Success cannot be measured when he gets a high degree, as long as he has a brain and mentality, if optimized, he has the potential to be successful. Success exists because there is luck, luck exists because there is the ability to meet opportunities

Usually people who are not highly educated are expected to be better and learn from their mistakes, so they can be successful, while those with advanced degrees feel superior and smarter. That's why he always wanted to work at a high place according to his title, but in the end he was unemployed. This is what happens a lot in my country, many of the unemployed are those who have a university degree.

So that's it, we need experience. Meanwhile, to gain experience, of course we must first have worked or be accepted to work at a company. Meanwhile, getting into a job is sometimes not easy. That is, apart from insight and skills and also a higher education diploma. we also need relationships and sometimes money. I think it's like a circuitous road. But despite all that, stay focused on the things we are interested in, develop talents and continue to look for good relationships. Working on the side to raise money and such. If we are lucky we can even open our own business rather than just working for other people or other people's companies. Everything is not easy. But if we continue to try well and consistently then I am sure we will eventually achieve our goals and dreams.

Do you think that if someone can take advantage of relationships and spend large amounts of money to get a job even though it is not their expertise, will they easily give up that job? Or who can afford to fire them? If they already have enough power and money to buy that position, they can afford to maintain that position until a better position is obtained. That's common in my country, people with high education but without good connections cannot compete with people who have connections and money.That is also one of the many reasons why many people today feel that education is unnecessary and useless.

But that doesn't mean people without relationship won't get good jobs. There will still be many companies recruiting based on experience and practical skills, but they will need to try very hard because the competition is very fierce.

I agree that there are many capable people who can learn many professions, even without the proper experience, but the problem is that you most likely will not be hired without the necessary knowledge, or experience in working in a similar job. Therefore, in order to be hired for a job without experience, you need connections with the right people, and I often see that experience is also necessary, even if you have education but no experience, this can also become a problem.

Those who already have a certain educational degree with highly specialized knowledge in their field will of course find it easier to get a job with an appropriate salary, but this person must still be called a worker because he is not the boss of the place where he works. Meanwhile, people with a not very high level of education, however, are able to open a business to employ educated people in it because that person has the capital to do that. So he can immediately become a boss through the money he has without having to return to being a worker at his own place even though in the past he was also a worker at someone else's place.

In developing countries, there are also very many college graduates who move to other countries to look for work because there are very limited job vacancies in their own country and I see this very often in my country where every year there are always people who go abroad to looking for work after completing their education at a particular college. This is also caused by other factors such as the recruitment of workers who are related to fraternities, so that competition in terms of certain skills is no longer so visible at this time even though in other countries they still prioritize certain skills and levels of education when companies create recruitment to get new workers.

The problem is I feel a lot of people in these kinds of region misunderstand the reason for a formal and higher education.
An education to me is not to give you a job. I believe it's to broaden your mind and expose you to a lot of things.
It's common knowledge that there are no jobs so even the few jobs available, people who have access to them gatekeep them for their friends and families. We've heard of instances where they sell slots to government jobs.
You get an education to acquire knowledge, it is through the knowledge you have acquired that you can get a job or something useful for yourself.

But the thing is, you stand very little chance of getting a job if you don't have a degree. A degree gives you a chance, no matter how small it may be, at getting a job. So these people who get these degrees, aside from acquiring more knowledge also stand a better chance at getting a job.

I think that the main focus of getting degrees should be to acquire more knowledge to make quality impact and contributions that will be beneficial to the society. Although having in mind to earn more income from the degrees that will guarantee the holder a better financial future is good, but it should not be the primary reason for acquiring the degrees. I say this because to really make money someone needs to think like a business person, because an illiterate with a natural zeal and wisdom to make money, can make it and employ graduates with all the degrees to work for them. There is a tribe in my country, that is known to have very successful people in business, but most of these people are not educated, but they are very wise when it comes to making money.

The rate at which people are acquiring more degrees are not the way they're getting job offers, because it seems that demand for jobs now is greater than the supply of the jobs. Every year millions of fresh graduates are entering the labour market to join others that have graduated before them to compete for jobs that are scarce. The more you're getting more degrees, others are getting higher degrees to compete for available job offers, especially in developing countries.  

But you are right that those who enter a job not because of their abilities or skills but because they only rely on insider connections and money, then in the end sometimes they will not be able to last long in that job. Because still forcing ourselves in a field that is not our expertise is not easy. Especially large companies that really need people who really have expertise in certain fields that the company needs. So never give up for those of us who don't have insider connections or anything like that. enough for us to continue to hone our skills and expertise. Because if we can have skills beyond other people then we won't be the ones looking for work but there will be jobs coming our way.

That is one of the problem that fresh graduates facing, some of the jobs might required degree but some achieved it thru connections by recommending them despite the fact that they do not meet the expectation of the role in the job. And it's true some would ask for money with saying that "we would immediately process it" that's how hard to find a job. I don't know I think it's fine for me? Cause I know for sure they wouldn't last long in that role cause they've only attained it by just having connections and paying someone, so when the company have a high expectation from them, they won't even meet that for sure. In short, the best thing is to process it right and let them find your potential but yeah it's hard with the numbers of unemployed people.

I also heard that the same fact happened in several areas in my country. But in my current area, apart from an academic degree, there are other things that we must have in order to be easily accepted into a job. Namely having connections to insiders. Even with a high academic degree, it will not be easy for us to be accepted into a company if we do not have connections to insiders.

But people who don't have inside connections can also be accepted for work easily, namely with money. Well this is quite a strange thing. We look for work to earn money. but I have seen many facts that to get a job we have to pay someone to help us to get hired. But I don't like that. In essence, it's like fishing for money with money.
It's ridiculous but I think this is common knowledge.

Even though there is indeed a condition where something like this cannot be predicted because it can come suddenly, but in other conditions we must also realize that to survive and welcome a better life in terms of financial conditions and our comfort in surviving it must start from several things and education (academic degrees) and skills must still be honed and deepened because these are supporting factors and are very important to have.
for academic degrees maybe this is not everyone can get it but for skills as long as we want to try then it can be obtained with a note that we are serious in doing it.

There is no doubt that academic pursuit is enough to get a job.  Most of the average-paying job requires an academic degree, so people who fail to get a degree don't have a chance to get into this kind of job and most of them often land on jobs that pay less, this is based on the system of my country.  Academic degree holders have a higher chance to get a high-paying job than the skilled but don't have an academic degree.  Most managers and supervisors position need an academic degree plus a master's degree regardless if they have the skill or not.
