People often underestimate the value and power of skills. To create something or succeed in any field, you need skills. School alone likely won’t teach you everything, so you'll need to develop these skills independently. If you're seeking employment, those same skills are essential. Think about it: millions of people have the same education and qualifications as you. So how do you stand out in such a competitive market? It’s tough to differentiate yourself otherwise. The key is to develop skills that will set you apart. It could be anything that interests you: web design, Excel, PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, AutoDesk, Fusion 360—whatever it is. So, how do you build these skills? It’s simple but not always easy. You can take courses. Webinars are also great. And the best part is, you don’t need to spend much—many resources are free. For example, platforms like FreeCodeCamp, Udemy, and YouTube tutorials are great ways to learn skills at no cost.
