The Danger of Chasing ‘Marketable Courses’ in Universities
For years, students have been told to choose “marketable courses” like IT, accounting, or engineering to secure jobs. But success isn’t about the course—it’s about the skills you build.
Here’s why this mindset is risky:
The Job Market Changes: What’s in demand today may not be tomorrow. Skills like critical thinking and adaptability have long-term value.
Degrees Don’t Equal Competence: Many top graduates struggle to get hired because they focused on exams, not practical skills.
Employers Hire for Skills, Not Titles: Hiring managers care more about what you can do than what you studied.
Rather than chasing trends, focus on building skills that solve real problems. The opportunities will follow.
