Does a College Degree Still Matter in Today’s Job Market?

With skills-based hiring on the rise, are degrees becoming less relevant? What’s your take on education vs. experience?

Yes, but it depends on the field. Many tech and creative jobs value skills and experience, while careers like medicine or law still require a degree.

Yes, a college degree continues to be important but not that significant. Although it is true that most employers take into consideration the skills and experience more than at times the degrees, the degrees can provide the means to get the better opportunities, higher income and credibility in the industries where formal education is obligatory.

Yes, a college degree still matters as it opens doors to many opportunities and shows commitment. However, skills, experience, and networking are becoming equally important.
