In the last episode, we talked about how gaining an advanced degree often seems to indicate that a person has strong learning skills. In many ways, that’s true. Earning a higher degree—whether it’s a master’s, a doctorate, or a professional qualification—does require a lot of learning and the ability to absorb, understand, and apply knowledge. But is it entirely accurate to say that someone who has an advanced degree automatically has better learning skills than others? Not necessarily. The truth is, while having a degree may suggest strong learning ability, what really matters is how one learns—not just what one learns.
