I once interviewed someone who had all the skills for the job. They had experience, adaptability, and a natural ability to solve problems. But as we spoke, I noticed something—they lacked confidence because they didn’t have a degree.
It wasn’t their skills holding them back. It wasn’t their ability. It was the belief that without a qualification, they weren’t enough.
And that’s a problem.
Degrees are valuable, but they are not the sole measure of talent, intelligence, or potential. Some of the most capable people I’ve met didn’t follow a traditional academic path—but what they did have was experience, adaptability, and a drive to learn.
If you’ve ever doubted your worth because of a missing qualification, here’s what I want you to know.
