true.. lav ger, u see, sometyms having a formal education
training can cause people to get hung up on wat is 'good' and
'bad'.... it can be good to have a more formal training in some
specialized skills, providing that u use ur education knowledge as
a TOOL, not a RULE...
"street qualifications" come from working with great people and
seeing how they handle things...but there are situations where at
least some formal knowledge, if not qualifications, would come in
very handy....
it might be ur education that enables u to do a better job and that
will ultimately be useful to u.... but since most people, including
those who've actually worked with u, haf no idea wat u do or how u
do it, u will be judged by ur RESULTS (for results read - how well
u performed during work and wat u've done for the company) and a
whole host of other superficial factors....
we live in an increasing complex world... Knowing how to build,
repair and tune a car will not necessarily make u a world champion
racing car driver.... however if u haf the potential to be a world
champion driver and u tek time to understand the inner workings of
the vehicle, i'm sure u'll be alot more help to the support team
that does build, maintain and optimise the vehicle.... likewise, in
watever industry, the one who has an in-depth knowledge is likely
to be able to identify and eliminate both creative and problems
more quickly.... go for ur interest and choose a career u'd like to
focus on~!!!
