It is amazing how you are treated with the more specialized education you get. For example, When I only had a university degree in business. I could never get work in the better companies nor get many promotions. The minute I received my MBA and Certified Management Accounting designation, the doors really began to open. I immediately got on the fast tract. Not only was I getting promotions but my pay more than doubled.
I say this because in any environment, for someone to succeed, you need skills that are in demand and differentiate yourself from others. If everyone has the same education and skills, there may been an oversupply of these skills and that impacts demand. This means that there may be fewer positions out there for that particular skill set.
Less demand and oversupply results in fewer positions for less pay.
You don't even necessarily need to go to university. You might decide to be an electrician or a nurse. There are many in demand skill sets out there that do not require a university education. Yet, you may end up earning more than a university educated professional.
The important thing is that you need to have an in-demand (specialty) skill set.
These are some things to think about. Stay tuned for more interesting blogs in the near future.
