In today’s job market it is far more important to have practical skills than theoretical knowledge. In the future, job applicants may not need any formal qualifications. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

These days, having practical experience is more necessary to get a job than having the academic qualification. It is often argued that the employees may not require an academic degree to get a job in the future. I partly agree with

this

assertion but up to a point and

this

essay will explain the reasons for

such

an opinion.

First

of all,I think it is clear that theoretical knowledge is a vital part of doing things in practice.

In other words

, having academic knowledge is essential for some professions like medicine, law and etc. Theory can

also

be a contribution to help us improve.

For example

,if we make mistakes without mastering theory , we can not find out what the problems are.

Moreover

, new technical devices are very complicated systems, which is hard to work with, and they need professional specialists.

On the other hand

, companies have to train their employees in practical

skills

so that they can work productively. But

this

process imposes them to expend more money and time.

Therefore

,

instead

of hiring academic but inexperienced employees, they prefer to recruit experienced people to reduce training time.

for instance

, in my country employers pay great attention to practical

skills

in resumes. To sum up, I think both theoretical insight and practical

skills

are equally important to a profession.

Therefore

, I partly agree with

this

allegation that practical competence is more important than an academic degree, but we should bear in mind that both

skills

together make a job seeker a better candidate.
