A crucial point here dear @mrarhat. We should not just see getting degrees as tickets 🎫 to jobs but basic foundation that will take us through stages of life.
Just like how you were able to tackle that statistics by using the rule of finding parentage.
Getting a degree us more than the Certificate we obtain.
You are absolutely right in saying that if we see a degree only as a ticket to a job, we lose its true value. In fact a degree gives us a foundation that is useful in every step of life. As you said even by learning a small rule and we can solve big problems later. Certificates are just proof but the real power is the knowledge and experience learned which changes our thinking and lifestyle.
Exactly dear friend. Enjoy your weekend 😇
