What skills have you gained at school?
If you ask anyone the most valuable skills they learned in school, they will probably mention non-academic examples.
While skills like English, mathematics and science are undoubtedly crucial to student development, skills like critical thinking, socialising and empathy, among others, will probably be more common answers.
In this article, we’ll look at six great skills that you learn at school or university, but which are also relevant in the real world.
Budgeting
This skill is more limited to your time at university, however, it’s still an amazing skill that you’ll learn throughout your time studying. Whether it’s learned the hard or the easy way, it’s a skill that you’ll certainly have to use in your day to day life.
One of the main reasons budgeting is learned so well during school and university is because you have no other option. Students likely have very little expendable income to waste and so they’re forced to learn how to manage a small budget. It’s important to understand the difference between your needs and wants, and when you can afford to make a purchase. Many students get really good at searching for good deals at supermarkets and clothing stores.
Personal Strengths and Motivation
If there is one perk that comes from those grueling school and university papers, it’s that you’ll have to learn your strengths and motivators.
Of course, most people don’t get excited about working on assignments (especially on weekends!), but somehow, you’ve learned how to muster up the energy and focus to get them done even if it’s at 11pm at night.
Resourcefulness
When difficulties arise during class, you will learn the extent of your personal strengths, when to ask for help, or when to use any other option available to you.
If you’ve ever used an online tutor you’ll know that asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness and often results in a far better outcome.
