Why Practical Skills Will Matter More Than Your Degree In The New Economy

Fast Company discusses the changing landscape of the economy with CEOs and managers to learn their opinion on having practical skills vs. having a college degree.

• If college degrees were no longer a common standard of employment, what methods could lead to more job training and development opportunities?

• Read about how organizations are preparing Americans for the new economy.

When Giancarlo Martinez applied a few years ago to be a web developer at Genome, a d igital marketing firm in New York, he was confident that he had the ability. But he couldn’t help but wonder whether company recruiters would be able to recognize this. The reason: Although he had gone to coding school, Martinez was largely self-taught.

Among the big questions now confronting the U.S. labor market is this: How common will stories like Martinez’s become?

“Getting a job at today’s IBM does not always require a college degree,” the company’s CEO, Ginni Rometty, has asserted. “What matters most is relevant skills.” Jeff Weiner, the CEO of LinkedIn, has been pushing the same message at his company.

But others are decidedly cautious, noting that longstanding cultural norms and institutional inertia stand as powerful roadblocks to this new way of thinking. Some experts are particularly skeptical that a skills-oriented approach to learning and hiring can transcend the tech industry.

The situation is evolving—but “not fast enough,” adds Karan Chopra, executive vice president of Opportunity@Work. “A critical mass of employers needs to shift behavior, signaling to the rest and influencing a change in the way the market operates today,” she says.

The goal, then, is to make all kinds of courses readily available in physical classrooms and virtual settings alike, allowing folks to acquire know-how that’s useful in the real world and then demonstrate their prowess to employers.

“An increasing number of job seekers face being shut out of middle-skill, middle-class occupations” because of this phenomenon, Burning Glass Technologies, a provider of labor market analytics, warned this month. “This credential inflation . . . is affecting a wide range of jobs from executive assistants to construction supervisors.”

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

Quote of the day.
Make sure to learn all the rules very silently and carefully and when the time come you will know what to do.

Why ??? Read it.

Why is the keyboard layout Q-W-E-R-T-Y and not simply A-B-C-D-F? Why were computer keyboards designed in the current format not in a alphabetical order. Is there any specific reason or it's just some random convention we are following?
It hasn’t been done randomly or just for fun, it has a very distinct and purposeful reason behind it.
The current format of the keyboard was devised long back in 1870’s by a gentleman named Christopher Sholes for the then typewriter.
Though, it definitely was not the first format to come up, it didn’t take much time to switch to this one.
Starting with lexicographic order i.e. A-B-C-D-E-F, after various trials and errors and taking hundreds of cases, Christopher Sholes gradually reached the Q-W-E-R-T-Y. It was really well received (evident from the fact that we still use it).
When the typewriter was invented, it used a metal bar to hold the character alphabets and the other end of the bar was attached to a linkage carrying a carriage with the coated ink.
When a key was struck, it would emboss its character on the paper placed beneath the carriage. However, when an operator learned to type at a great speed, a certain flaw was noticed.
When two letters were struck in quick succession, the bars of the typewriter would entangle and get jammed.
Christopher Sholes found a way out. He proposed that the letters of frequently used letter pairs should be in different rows.
For example, ‘C-H’, ‘S-T’, ’T-H’, ‘W-H’ and more.
He also formulated that to speed up the typing process, there has to be a regular alternation between two hands. So observing thousands of words, he placed the letters in way that most words would make use of both hands.
He also observed that almost every word in the dictionary carries a vowel.
According to him, the most frequently used vowel was ‘A’ and the most frequently used letter (non-vowel) was ‘S’. So he placed ‘A’ and ‘S’ together and chose to keep less common letters like ‘Q’, ‘W’, ‘Z’, ‘X’, ‘C’ around these.
This was complemented by placing fairly common letters like ‘M’, ‘N’, ‘L’, ‘K’, ‘O’, ‘P’ at right extremes to create a perfect alternation between both the hands.
All these factors tested with thousands of trials gave us the format that we still use and perhaps would be using till eternity.

Your college or university degree won't get you where you want. If that the case, then WHY so many graduates are struggling to fulfill their basic needs?

It's because we're now shifting from

JOB ECONOMY ——> SKILL ECONOMY.

It's not the degree that pays the bills its "THE SKILL" that pays the bill.

Today I will let you know 9 NEW SKILLS that are hard to LEARN, but they pay-off…

1: Copywriting: This includes writing landing pages, writing emails, order pages, Facebook ads, description, E-commence site, etc

500,000 Pakistanis Left The Country In 2019 For Better Life
According to the Bureau of Immigration and Overseas Employment, there are approximately 10 million Pakistanis abroad, signifying a huge brain drain for the country.

The report published by the bureau states that most Pakistanis leave the country in order to escape unemployment and to find stable futures.
In the last two years, 884000 people have left the country with 300000 moving out in 2018 and 500000 in 2019. The report states that it is usually fresh graduates who leave.

The report further adds that the largest number people who move away are skilled individuals. 369000 skilled individuals have left the country in which engineers, doctors and accountants top the list. Engineers have been leaving the country the most because there are no jobs for them in the country.
The high incidence of doctors moving abroad is explained by the fact that young doctors have stable futures abroad. The healthcare system in Pakistan is in shambles and it needs to be fixed in order to retain doctors.

The report also looks at where the people move to. The Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar are the top destinations for Pakistani expatriates. These are followed by Malaysia, Britain and the US.

The report also summarises the remittances sent to Pakistan. According to it, the financial year of 2018-2019 saw $21.8 million in remittances sent to the country. It also notes that $74.7 million was dispatched as foreign exchange by Pakistanis this year.
