ROSES AND THORNS

             Qualification plays an important role in the industries. Though an individual is very talented enough and capable of doing things greater than an individual whose qualification is higher than him, the talented person would not be promoted as he do not possess the necessary qualification. According to the company’s norms, an individual should be promoted for a higher post only if his educational qualification meets the requirement of that particular post else the person would not be promoted, rather he would be requested by the company to study in order to meet the requirement and come back. This is the present scenario in all the firms even in top MNCs. Now the question is “IS DEGREE NECESSARY?” I would rather answer this question as DEGREE IS NOT MANDATORY. Most of the subjects in the degree contains only out dated concepts and theories. If a person is doing great in the industry then he should not be sent to the graduate school again to study those outdated concepts merely to posses a degree, by then he would have learnt a lot new technologies and concepts if he would have stayed in the industry. Hence the companies should consider about this issue. Talents should be given priority rather than mere qualification.
