Will you do something you friends do while you really do not need to do?

I find that I am confused now. Diplomas become popular things here, many students spend time and money to get them. They will have many tests, one after another, and at last get many of them. But after so many years education, I rarely choose to take these kind of tests, and now I do not have any important diploma. I think I do not need these diplomas, even without them i can get a good job. but i still feel that I lose a large part of my students life. Now i try to take some of them, and become a normal student here. But I still feel uncomfortable with my decision.

Ability is the most important not the qualification. But in a job market, they do not have time to make sure you have the ability or not, but the qualification can help you to prove your ability in some degree. If you really have time to show that you have the ability which they are badly needed, you may have the chance to get that job.

I guess you can never have too much studies. I for one regret not taking the opportunities I had when I was younger to study more. But don't decide to do anything just because of peer pressure. Take a long think past, present and future, and think well. If you want to do it, make it for you. You can think about future prospects, maybe you don't need those qualifications now for a job, but in the job industry all the qualifications are welcome, you never know if that one qualification might take you a step further to get the one job you might want in future. The job market gets tougher and tougher, qualifications I thought 2 years ago I would not need, I had to take to get jobs now. And sometimes you might go to another country and the qualifications they need there are the ones you didn't take. However, I also know a lot of people with full qualifications that can't get a job, teachers, social workers back home that can't get a job, however when I moved, I had to get qualifications I previously thought I didn't need to get the employment I have now, so in my case it saved me to get a job. Please put everything into consideration, and think about yourself, your future, your prospects, what you want out of life, the job market, your opportunities. Everyone is an individual, everyone is different so you need to look to yourself and what you want, what you need and make your own decision. Remember this is something for you to decide, all your life decisions are up to your future, and making them for others is not the best as they have their own lives to live, their own mistakes and choices, with their own consequences, so whatever you choose, take a look into yourself and see if it is what you, in your life want.

It says that god helps those who help themselves. Many qualification is not needed today, maybe quite useful some day in the future. If i have time to get some of them, get them soon is a good choice. It is hard for young man get a good job now, but if you really have ability or special skills, that would help you get a better job in the job market.
