We live in a fast-changing world where, as an adult trying to survive, getting a college degree is not still a solid move.

Getting a degree can open doors and build knowledge for you and show you how you can be disciplined and committed to a particular thing and achieve it. But let's be real to ourselves. If AI is now taking over jobs, for example, just like drones, they are now replacing the area photographers.

I must say, AI is making some jobs become obsolete or recent. That is why, as a graduate relying on a degree...not be enough anymore. In order to thrive in this current state of world we are in now, we need to blend both our degree and a practical skill, and also our talent, our passion also.

All these are what joins together to light you up in a fast-paced world. That is our sweet spot. Education, skills, and talent, and passion meet together to give you a fulfilled and successful life. Let's think about it. Imagine if you get a degree in engineering or in medicine. That would be awesome.


But what happens when AI starts handling those tasks that humans handles in the cheap and faster way?

That is why it is good as an individual to diversify your skills. You can just learn the skills outside your field. Maybe you cannot take care of the software, management, cryptocurrency, trading, coding, graphic designing, or even public speaking.

All these skills are versatile and makes you ready for the unexpected opportunity. So let's take care, for example, you are a doctor who is also good in creating medical apps,
or a teacher who is good in public speaking and you know how to do videos, master's videos, and you edit videos online and post them.

And put them in the job market. Skills like your safety in an AI-driven world that we are in now. But you don't have to stop there.
Your passion is also your secret weapon.
You might be studying accounting in school right now, but you know how to write poetry, or you know how to make clothes, or sew clothes.

You don't have to shove that passion away.
It's always part of who you are. You can try to nurture it. You can also take a comedy class, or start blogging, or just say what you design online.

Passion is what fuels creativity and keeps you motivated when life becomes tougher on the other side. So look at people like Trevor Noah. They knew how to blend comedy with storytelling and also fashion designing. Their passion didn't just complement their career, they defined them.

The Bible reminds us that we should use our talent wisely. God gave us these unique gifts for a reason. So we don't have to bury them just like that because we are doing other things in life. It is good to combine your degree, your particular skill, and passion.

To create something unstoppable. So imagine an engineer who loves stand-up comedy could host a tech talk with humor that also captivates an enlightened audience.

A nurse who has a good writing skill could publish head blogs that inspire thousands.
These possibilities are just endless when we diversify these. AI is smart. But it can't replicate the heart of a human. Your creativity still beats AI. And also your God-given talent can still beat AI.

So it is good to change that degree. But you have to add it with a new skill. Pour that energy into what you love doing, like your talent and your passion. Success isn't just about certificates. There is more to success. It is about building a life that is unique to yours. Ready to shine in any future. And no one can ever replace.
