LUXURY & ACADEMY
Luxury : not about needs or wants. About desire. Identity mark ❣️ ‼️ : status symbol, sense of achievement 💫 ( it's true.. sense of happiness, achievement 🎈 🎂)
It's about creating experience
High net worth people hate sales people 😔 😕 :: act like you're an expert . Not a salesperson ( true true true. I hate when a person comes to me and offer me business or something to buy. Just don't like it and will avoid them )
Humans. We crave exclusivity :: reinforce something rare ( people in general can't have it . I love being rare 😍 ❤️)

DEGREE WON'T NEEDED IN THE FUTURE
You're touching on a big shift — and you're right. The importance of a traditional college degree is evolving, and in many fields, it's becoming less essential than it used to be. Here's a breakdown of why and what’s replacing it:
🎯 Why a Degree Might Not Be Needed in the Future
1. Skills > Credentials
-
Companies like Google, Apple, Tesla, IBM, and many startups now prioritize skills, portfolios, and real-world experience over diplomas.
-
Platforms like GitHub, Behance, or LinkedIn let people showcase projects that matter more than a GPA.
2. Rise of Microlearning
-
You can now gain certified skills through platforms like:
-
Coursera, edX (Harvard, MIT courses)
-
Google Career Certificates
-
Meta, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Microsoft courses
-
-
These are cheaper, faster, and focused.
3. AI & Automation
-
Many jobs that used to need degrees are being automated or transformed.
-
What’s needed now? People who can adapt quickly, think critically, and solve problems creatively — not just follow instructions.
4. Creator & Freelance Economy
-
People now earn well as:
-
Influencers
-
Content creators
-
Online course creators
-
Designers, coders, consultants
-
-
No degree required — just value, consistency, and online presence.
5. Global Talent Pool
-
Remote work has made it easier to compete globally. Companies often care more about what you can do now, not what you studied years ago.
🔁 What Will Replace Traditional Degrees?
| Instead of... | Employers now look for... |
|---|---|
| A 4-year degree | A portfolio of real work |
| GPA | Soft skills + adaptability |
| Class attendance | Online course certificates |
| Internships | Freelance work / GitHub projects |
| Thesis | Case studies / business experiments |
💡 Will Degrees Still Matter at All?
Yes, in some fields:
-
Medicine
-
Law
-
Academia
-
Engineering (in regulated countries)
-
Aviation
But for tech, design, business, media, marketing, and even some science fields — the world is moving to skills-first hiring.
Would you like suggestions on what high-income skills to learn without a degree? Or maybe tips to start building a personal brand or portfolio?
Perfect 👍 Here’s how the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) classifies languages for English speakers, based on how many classroom hours it typically takes to reach professional proficiency:
🟢 Category I – Easiest (around 24–30 weeks / 600–750 hours)
Languages closely related to English.
-
Examples: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian.
🟡 Category II – Easy–Moderate (around 36 weeks / ~900 hours)
A bit more complex, but still similar in grammar or vocabulary.
-
Examples: German, Haitian Creole, Indonesian, Malay, Swahili.
🟠 Category III – Hard (around 44 weeks / ~1100 hours)
Different grammar systems or writing rules, but not the hardest.
-
Examples: Russian, Turkish, Hebrew, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Greek.
🔴 Category IV – Super Hard (around 88 weeks / ~2200 hours)
The toughest for English speakers — very different grammar, tones, and writing systems.
-
Examples: Arabic, Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese), Japanese, Korean.
👉 Among these, Japanese is considered the hardest overall because of its three writing systems (hiragana, katakana, kanji) and complex honorifics.
⚡ Note: These times are for full-time intensive study at FSI. In real life, learning depends on exposure, practice, and environment.
