@genztalks A comprehensive education, inclusive of a university/college education provides a broad, foundational knowledge-base that goes beyond technical skills.
Courses in areas like critical thinking, communication, and interdisciplinary studies equip students with a well-rounded intellectual toolkit. These broader skills may not be gained as easily through skills-based certifications or early work experiences, limiting long-term career growth in more specialized or leadership roles. A college education is often seen as essential for fostering the cognitive flexibility needed to adapt to multiple career changes over a lifetime.
