First
Linking Words
 of all, most white-collar jobs require candidates to have a certificate to help the organisation know their strengths and area of specialization, it is assumed that when you have a degree, you're more knowledgeable in that field.
Nevertheless
Linking Words
, most universities are theoretical and
therefore
Linking Words
 not practical.
For example
Linking Words
, students who are studying computer science are taught to code
thus
Linking Words
, there is no practice,
therefore
Linking Words
,
such
Linking Words
 student will cram to pass exams and get a degree but has theoretical knowledge of coding. In my opinion,
such
Linking Words
 individuals would need to put in more work in order to be employable.
Body · 2
On the other hand
Linking Words
, having a skilled staff in an organisation is very important because of the years of experience in that field that
such
Linking Words
 staff possess.
For instance
Linking Words
, a software developer who has been coding for 4 years can't be compared to a new graduate who hasn't encountered different problems. A skilled person is most likely to have experienced more and be fit to handle complex problems in the workspace. In my view, having the required know-how should be the criteria for owning a decent Job.
Conclusion
In conclusion, while both points are valid as it is important to have a university education and
also
Linking Words
 paramount to have the experience,
However
Linking Words
, having a skill should be the primary reason for obtaining a good job.
Therefore
Linking Words
, people with college certificates should work harder in building themselves so they can be easily employed.
