Skills Are The New Currency: How To Build Wealth In Your Career

Imagine carrying a wallet full of rupees that devalue every year. That’s what happens when your only asset is a degree. Skills, on the other hand, behave like Bitcoin—volatile at times, but the right ones can grow your worth exponentially.

Why skills = currency

  • Employers trade in capability, not certificates.
  • Some skills depreciate (Flash coding). Others appreciate (cloud security).
  • A portfolio of skills hedges you against layoffs, downturns, and tech shifts.

How to invest

  1. Diversify: Don’t just stack certs. Stack proof.
  2. Reinvest: Use one project to open the door to the next.
  3. Track ROI: Which skill raised your employability score the most? Double down.
