That's what parents don't know, skills is very much needed too, put together with education. One doesn't go to study theory and leaving the practical aspect that matters most.Exactly, over here in my country lot of parents make the mistake of believing that the certificate alone is enough for your child to develop into the society without knowing that there are no much job opportunities but if you acquire a skill, you can always use it to fetch money for yourself without even having a job that pays you on monthly basis.
