Wow, how nice to read a commentary of this level. I am thrilled that you stopped to analyze several facts in my article. I invite you to visit the source I refer to where I got the data, there you will find many more interesting details, I was particularly fascinated.
This digitized world is demanding universities, schools, professors and authorities to turn their eyes towards new skills needed not only by technology companies, but all jobs that are touched by constant coding needs.
I tell you, for example, the very close case of some friends. One of them is a construction engineer and the other is a graphic designer working in an advertising company, both of them decided to take a bootcamp in U/X Design. With this new skill, they applied to new jobs where they doubled their salary as user experience designers. This gap between what the university teaches us and the needs of the market, we must overcome it by learning computer science.
Thank you for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it, it is an honor for me to meet you too.
I am at your service @lemouth through this medium.
Thanks for your reply. I actually agree with you.
What matters is the sum of all our skills. The advantage of universities is that it equips people with a bunch of (basic as well as less basic) skills, but of course we often need to move further to improve. At the end of the day, if someone's sum of skills is superior to the sum of any other applicant, this someone will probably get the job.
Cheers!
PS: I am looking forward to read blogs in which you would share your expertise! Note that you may want to also consider the STEMsocial community.
Thank you very much for the invitation, from now on you are part of this community.
