"UNIVERSITY Vs YOUTUBE" || An Amazing Question by @ecotrain

Hey everyone

You guys know, I love to answer and participate into those contest where I can share my thoughts, kinda challenging stuffs. This time @ecotrain came with another question "University vs youtube" , comparison or which one you think better and today I am going to give my opinion about that. Because I think this is an excellent question to talk about...

Academic Life:

Well, from childhood I have always heard from my parents about school , colleges and universities and about top results ... bla bla bla... My parents always told me , that I have to get good marks , have to be topper and it was a race. My mother always worried about my studies , about my mark sheets because it was really meant to her. As a obedient child I followed my parents word and go with the flow. That time I have no idea about virtual life or you tube because I think it was not there that time... I am talking about the year of 1996 and that time only we have television, no mobile phone , no internet nothing. Only book , only school and only report card which is mark sheets. I passed school and college with good marks and then I started my graduation journey into university.

My subject was Architecture which is really vast and creative subject with passion. That time I realized that teachers just gave us the basic idea which is not enough for architecture and we have explore more. I started using internet and started to learn my first software called Auto Cad for drawing. Well, there was an academic course on AUTO CAD but it was just basic. I learnt that software mostly from YouTube specially some feature and icons.

Youtube :

After graduation I got my certificate and career started. Real life began and I realized I need more more skills , need to learn more updated softwares. Now where to go?? University !!!! Friends?? Colleagues?? Well , it was youtube where I learnt another software called Sketchup to increase my 3D skills , after that I learnt V-ray , Photoshop from YouTube...

Well, I have certificates from university, I have knowledge of Architecture but I updated myself, my knowledge from Youtube , I have increased my skills by the help of YouTube. Well, in some cases, University degree , certificates matter which is kind of prove that you are not illiterate , you are educated.. That's all ... I am not against on certificates , schools because we learn something , we learn a lot and become educated but your skills also matters...

Another example, I want to share with you. I have learnt make-up (cosmetics world) from Youtube, I don't have any certificates , no academic background , I just followed some youtube videos and also I learnt video editing from youtube... I developed my skills , I increased my knowledge into different sector... I believe my work , my skills and my portfolio will describe who I am , certificates are my backup...

I feel certificates are those papers which are kind of prove that you are educated , but from Youtube or by watching videos you can learn something new , can increase your knowledge and develop your skills..
