Degrees Don’t Guarantee Success, Humble Yourself – Reno Omokri.

Nigerian author and lawyer, Reno Omokri has taken to social media on Saturday, September 26 to advise young adults on how the world works in terms of finding jobs.

According to him, the world has grown so much that what most people were taught in school for many years can now be searched for on Google on seconds.

He added that degrees shouldn’t make anyone arrogant because skills are now in higher demand.

He said;

“Skills now matter more than degrees. A man with Masters in Literature, or History, or such humanities, isn’t in as high demand as a fashion designer, a coder, or  skilled motor mechanic in today’s world. If it sounds brutal, it‘s because it’s true!”

Every single thing you learnt in school for 16 years, can be sourced in a few seconds by a Google search. So, don’t let your degrees make you arrogant. Don’t think it guarantees you success. The world has changed. Skills now matter more than many degrees. A man with a Masters degree in Literature, or History, or any of such liberal arts, is not in as high a demand, as a fashion designer, or a coder, or a skilled motor mechanic, or even a farmer in today’s world. It sounds brutal. But that is because it is true! #FreeLeahSharibu #RenosNuggets
