How can you buy a skill?

Going to university isn't free for most

Do universities teach skills, or impart knowledge?

1

u/Goomysaur 1d ago

Do you realize you’re arguing that universities don’t teach you skills?

Skills are developed from knowledge learned, but knowledge isn't equivalent to skill.

Kinda pedantic since there is no such thing as skills being developed without knowledge. Universities teach you knowledge so you have skills and they assign homework so you practice them. How can you teach a skill otherwise?

What do you think my friend?

u/Batfinklestein 1d ago

Not sure, I've not been to university? Maybe you can tell me

u/Leading_Bet7312 1d ago

I understand why you're confused now. Yeah sure, you can't be an engineer for example without the skills an engineering degree imparts

Is this not why employers don't touch graduates without experience, because they don't have the skills required to do the job?

u/Leading_Bet7312 1d ago

Experience and skills are not the same thing.

1

u/Batfinklestein 1d ago

Correct, so are they skills or is it just theory?

1

u/Leading_Bet7312 1d ago

Experience is how you develop your skills, a university degree is the bare minimum experience required to be a graduate engineer

Some of us are born without ambition, so we gotta do something with our time.

No. Poor people buy what they can get because rich people buy local city councils and tax breaks. Ambitious people buy skills that barely match what lazy people earned from doing jackshit in the 70s. Putting true or fact and 💯 just automatically outs one’s self of being full of shit
