Employment and skills: two components of authenticity

I remembered how I told my dad that once I'm done with school, I will start earning money because I will have my own standard of work and pursue my career. I told him how I couldn't wait to start receiving salaries. I've already planned my life since I was a child. And every day, I dreamed of becoming what I wanted to be in the future. But then I never knew the future had another plan for me.

I could remember how my dad told me to try and find one skill to learn when I was younger. I told him it's actually not necessary because I want to face my studies very well.
Since my secondary school days, I've been following my dad to his shop, and I refused to learn what he does. Well, my dad repairs cars. Any kind of car And poor me spent six years without knowing how to repair cars.
Until one day, a man carries me on his bike and tells me how he has been surviving. I realized he's an educated man. He told me he's got a certificate in masters.

But he doesn't find any work, which is why he's riding a bike. He said he regretted not having skills because, all his life, he's depended on his career.

Now here is my point: if you live in the same country I did, then you can't survive with your career. It's only in my country that many dreams have been scattered. A few days ago, I talked about having many skills. Even with your skills, you will find it difficult to make it. Not to mention sitting alone with your career.

A country where there is inflation and our minimum wage cannot feed us for one week.
The difference between skills and a career is so different. As a person, I know the value of skills. I was telling my sister about how good it is to have a skill.
Let me give you an instance: before you have a career, you will have to find jobs here and there; in fact, there is no assurance that you will still find the job.

I learned my skills some years ago. I don't need anyone to employ me with my own skills again.
Only if you see good government work will you stand by your skills. You just have to know what you are doing anyway.

The only constraints on skills are when you do not have money to establish yourself, but when you do. You can make millions in a day with your skills. The question is, which job will give you millions in a day?
I was talking to some people who sit at their jobs. Imagine collecting $30 in a month. How on earth did you want to feed yourself for that month? Even when there is no inflation. $30 will not feed you for a month, not to mention when there is inflation.

Now the question is: when will you make it big in life without having skills and sitting on your career alone? Just imagine the price of land and the equipment needed to build a house.
Even someone who collects $200 will not be able to build a house anytime soon.

In this era of technology, we have all found ourselves. You can just sit in your comfort zone and make more than $3000. In a month.
The difference is clear. Meanwhile, if you really want to be successful, There is nothing bad about having both a career and skills at the same time. This will help you grow with the blink of an eye.

I wouldn't say a particular skill will make you a lot of money. All I will say is that you need to look into the future of the skills you want to choose. And the pay. Meanwhile, all the technical skills pay off.

You are right. Having a career cannot help you but having the right skills will. It is important to juggle both together so as to help you survive in the long run.

No doubt,the present state of the global economy demands having both hard skill and soft skills to guarantee ones chances of survival.

This is on point, like your dad, I am equally regretting not acquiring skills when I was still in school. Now, I am pushing my kids to learn every skills possible along with their education.
