What do you think about higher education, is it necessary these days?

From the perspective of learning, absolutely not. As it pertains to relationship building on the other hand, there’s nothing like it.

To my personal view, I feel it's kind of a trend these days. It just adds a degree to your name and everything depends on a person's skill and ability. Agree with one of the people who said: It teaches you how to build connections and how to maintain them.

Hey, Natalia! Thanks! That's a great question! Like most of the people here, I'm sure that it's necessary as a form of socialization and feather connections, for sure✨

I think that in some careers, especially business-related, higher education as it is known today will not last long. But higher education still has a key role in our society and there are careers where it will always be there, it will iterate, but it will be there. Careers related to science, medicine, etc You don´t want self-made doctor, don't you? Like it always happens nothing is white or black.

For me, higher education is valuable because there you can find good people, get connections and learn how to connect with people. On the other hand, teaching methods at some universities aren't the best, the educational base doesn't have a tendency to be regularly updated, so some things are outdated. But if you're sure that you will devote a certain part of your life to this profession, then it makes sense to develop within the framework of this science and contribute to its development.

I don't think it's necessary as long as you are still learning in other ways.

The importance of Higher Education: 5 Reasons Why 1. The Obvious 2. The Future and AI 3. A Well-Rounded Dynamo 4. Learning How to Think 5. International Education

Huger education can be useful in some areas of work but I think we should all try and improve. Building a new skill set like learning a new language or cooking

Depends on the domain I would say. Relevant for someone who is interested in highly specialised fields. Also helps you build a solid network

I think that higher education definitely has value, but its necessity is often overstated by companies in the hiring process. So many great candidates coast through university as it's a mandatory pre-requisite and instead focus their energy on learning/developing on the job. Would be great if more hiring moved to a structure that is more equitable and provides opportunity for everyone to showcase their talent and suitability, regardless of their circumstance and ability to have obtained higher education.
