Hard skills are not enough anymore!

 

$1.00 Reading Program beats $100,000 bachelor degree!



That is, if you spent $100,000 on getting your bachelor degree, how much would you spend on soft skills?

You can spend $1.00 a day for 85% success, OR $100,000 on a bachelor degree for 15% success.

Why a degree is not as important as before?

Some big companies are already eliminating degree requirement in their hiring process.
