Which do you consider more valuable? Formal education or skills and why?
I feel either of these two will become meaningless in isolation. Formal education is important to know the concepts, but without proper skill to implement the same, it all becomes a theory. At the same time, having proper formal education is likely to enhance one's skills. I think these two (formal education and skills) are complementary to each other and not substitutable.
