    "The skills-based revolution isn’t the future, it’s already here: It’s been over a year since major employers like Google, Microsoft, IBM, and Apple, eliminated their long-held degree requirements for jobs to remove barriers to entry and recruit more diverse talent—much to the dismay of those who have splashed out thousands on a college degree.

    Now, LinkedIn has put the final nail in the coffin for those hoping that a stellar education alone is enough to land you a killer job.

    That’s because the top skill of 2024 isn’t one you can learn from textbooks—or even a YouTube tutorial, for that matter.
    According to the networking platform’s analysis of its 1 billion global users, the hottest skill to have right now is adaptability."

    Surprising? No. “The illiterate of the future are not those who can't read or write but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”. Written by Alvin Toffler. In 1970.

    I think adaptability is a great skill to have, there are so many constant changes in everything, and being able to adapt to that is one of a few skills people should work on...
