Somethings Up With Todays Society,
20 Year Olds Without College Degrees are Making 6 Figures a Year While College Graduates from Prestigious Universities are Struggling with Burdensome Debts. Jobs are Switching In and Out as Industries and Sectors are Constantly Evolving and Moving Internationally wherever the Talent and Labor Skills are. So What Has Happened? How has this Paradigm Shift Occurred? Where Can we Go From Here? More Importantly however, what is the Number #1 Skill that You Can Learn Today That Will Make You FAR BETTER OFF in the Coming Decade as The Current Status Quo & Preconceived Notions of Job Security are Utterly Dismantled.
Employers Are Valuing Experience Far More than Certificates
You Must Always Think of The Employer/Employee Relationship as a Value Proposition. Whenever You are Getting Hired or in the Process of, One Must consider this Question, "What Value am I adding to My Employer and What Value Will They Derive From Me? When Asked this question, The topmost Critical Thinking and Subjective Analysis of your own Standing is Required which unfortunately for most people can be Very Hard to Accurately state. We All Want to Preach Our Accolades and Experience, but often times we Preach About the Wrong Things at the Right time. We Get Good at the Wrong Things and Somehow think they are going to be relevant to what we think we will be doing in the future
Why Should an Employer Care that You Graduated Magma Cum Laude When the Next Person in Line already had 2+ Years of Relevant Experience Right Out of the Gate? Your Degree Means Next to Nothing in the Eyes of the Employer. What Value Does Your Experience Contribute to Future Success of your Employment?
Colleges Will NOT Adapt To Employers Needs
Colleges Are In the Business of "Educating" or some Form There of, Colleges Unfortunately are NOT in the Business of Providing Experiences that Will Be Relevant to an Individuals Success. No I am Not Talking About an Internship, Those Do Not Count Because Often Times They are Done Apart from The In-School Learning. What I am Talking About is How Unprepared Schools, Especially Higher Learning Institutes in Business, Management, Marketing etc(no Trade Schools) Actually Are in Readying Students for They're Employers Needs. And Yet The Masses Still Wonder Why Companies are eagerly hunting good talented and skilled workers overseas. What Do Colleges Actually Do? They Shove Some Form of Standardized Material Garbage down the students throat and expect them to regurgitate it on command? They Praise repetition above critical thinking and problem solving. God Forbid a student thinks for him/herself and Openly Challenges What is said in the textbook! Just See how well The Later Proves in Business
If Colleges Will Not Change, You Must
The Only Skill You Need to Master in the Next Era of Schooling that will propel You lightyears ahead of Everyone Else is as follows
The Ability To Adapt, Change and Process New Information
As It has been said time and time again, It is not Necessarily the Most Strong, The most Fast or even the Largest That Survive But Rather it is The Species that Adapts the most to they're rapidly changing environment" Darwin
While I do Not believe in most of Darwins Theories, I do Truly Believe that the Ability to Adapt and Change Is the most important Trait We as Individuals must master in this World less we Risk the Platueing of Stagnation and Decline. If we are not Growing, we are dying is true now more than ever
The Institutional Learning Setting and the Forced Command Style teaching that is in Place in 90% of Schools nowadays is not going to change anytime soon. It has been Around for over 200 Years. Do Not expect this to happen.

To Better Ourselves are Individuals, We Must take it upon ourselves to self educate and continue to evolve above and beyond school. With the power of the internet, and decentralized web applications, We literally have the power now more than every to rise in ranks of social classes in most societies. There is absolutely nothing holding us back any longer apart from previous ancient methods of Teaching and Learning. The Sooner We dismiss these styles as Outdated Institutions, The sooner we may pave the way for evolving ourselves in Intellect, Mind and Spirit
