No Degree, No Problem— 5 Online Jobs That Don’t Require a Degree
Although going to school is okay, education isn’t the only way forward (No Degree, No Problem). Someone once said, ‘’ Education is the key to success, but, I guess they’ve changed the padlock.’’ How funny is that? In today’s world, getting a degree is not a guarantee that you would be successful. As a matter of fact, people like Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Oprah Winfrey, who are successful today, didn’t obtain a degree, they obtained skills.
Besides, school now isn’t as cheap as it was before. With the rise in the cost of living, people aren’t able to afford going to school anymore. People who even go through school don’t even have what to show for it. This era we live in suggests that skills are the new ways of making enough money to live a decent and comfortable life.
