People believe that being literate in English allows you to acquire better jobs and thus allows one to have access to a better standard of living. Up to what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement?

It is widely agreed that being fluent in
English
leads to better employment opportunities. I strongly believe that apart from
language
expertise there are factors like skills and experience which need to be considered for a successful
carrier
. In non-native
English
speaking countries even though people do not know
English
they flourish in their
carrier
.
To begin
with, these subject-specific skills like
knowledge
of the
English
language
is useful for communication but for effective execution of work ,subject-specific skills are required.
For example
, a cricketer, doctor or artist may not know
English
but can flawlessly execute their task without
knowledge
of
English
specific
language
.
In addition
to
this
, their expert
knowledge
of the subject can help them to demonstrate excellence in their field.
Furthermore
, there are attributes
such
as dedication, experience, determination and the right attitude towards work that lead an individual to a successful
carrier
.
For instance
, a person who is cooking is highly experienced will be in a far better position while solving the problem relating to cooking rather than a person who has
knowledge
of the
English
language
but does not have experience of cooking.
Additionally
, with the above-mentioned ,attributes a person not only achieves the goals of his life but
also
demonstrates success in his
carrier
. In conclusion, It is clear that for native
English
speaking countries it may be important to display excellence in the
language
for job prospects but for non-native
English
speaking ,countries
English
is only a medium of communication and communication can be undertaken with any
language
which not necessarily advocates the use of
English
.
