Which do you consider more valuable? Formal education or skills and why?
It depends on type of work. Formal education is considered to be urgently needed in some fields of work which require a lot of theoretical and professional knowledge and pre-knowledge, like physicians, nurses, pharmacists, other healthcare workers or contruction engeneers. Of course, only theoretically gained knowledge is far from beeing enough for this kind of workers, they have to prove it, enhance it and handle it in every-day practice. On the other hand, jobs which can not influent directly the safety or health of population or harm the environment need more skills than education to be successfully done (reporters, secretaries, translators, tourist-guides etc.).
Describe the benefits of working with others
Team-work is interesting because it (if the deadlines are respected from all included persons) gives the opportunity to reach quicker and more reliable result. More people organized to work together have usually different ideas and they include more different opptions in their work, which allows to chose the best off all, or to gain an optimal combination as a result.
Describe the benefits of working alone
