Degree Vs Skill 🤔

[u/Ok-Carpenter-7748]

I’ve heard literally every other person talk about how skill is more important than a degree. Personally as one pursuing chemical engineering what skills are there that I can develop that will help boost my career? Please help me

People skills. If you don't like talking to people, start figuring that out. If you have an abrasive personality, work to smooth it out. Be as helpful and friendly as you can be. Learn how to learn people's names. You might not have opportunities to do all these things starting now, but prepare to do them. Don't be above a menial task because you are an engineer.

Hate the abrasive ass hats. Being negative and aggressive all the time isn’t increasing productivity Mitch. Makes me not want to consult you under any circumstance.
