PRACTICAL SKILLS

By ALBA SÁNCHEZ #BTO2D

Some people think that teenagers nowadays only have to concentrate on academic subjects and ignore themes which teach you practical skills, such as managing money and applying for jobs, because "they're not as important as them".

First and foremost, practical skills are fundamental things that everybody should know. For example, it doesn't matter if you have excellent marks in science if you don't know how to do a curriculum vitae or do a job interview.

It is also important to consider that many academic subjects require so much concentration and, it's irritating, so you need some relax which you can find in practical skills which are not that difficult.

In conclusion, practical skills are not less important than academic subjects, and they should be taught at schools like the basic and fundamental subjects.
