This has made most youths see learning an added skill either virtual or physical as waste of time or not profitable. **They spend all their lives chasing formal education to get the degree and dismiss the mindset** that they can make money while schooling before they actually get the job. Some may spend years chasing formal education and may later end up jobless, **paying someone who hasn't seen the four walls of school to teach him a skill.** **This contest is not condemning formal education or completing it and having a degree** but is raising a question to know view of the masses if they must complete schooling before they start making money. We'll be fascinated to read your views on this topic. Let's give it our all. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbn9N6oMK6P1JJnCA4L59KxU84fcXtP2XMknAiMLjLcii/image.png) ------------ |*Contest Hint*| |----------| ----------- * Must you have a degree before you have a well paying job?
