IS having a degree relevant in this current time and age where anyone with a handphone could become famous and rich?
According to netizen RSB in a post on X, there is a huge difference between an influencer who possesses a degree and one without.
RSB went out to say that if anyone remarked that a degree is not important, just show them the contents by Khairul Aming.
Sangat berbeza ya influencer ada degree vs takde degree
Ini bukti being educated & ada degree tu penting
Kalau ada orang kata degree tu tak penting, tunjuk content content Khairul Aming https://t.co/Ay8AExVyAu

For those not in the know, Khairul Aming is an influencer famed for his cooking skills.
The man has been gaining quite a lot of traction on cyberspace with his recent post where he entertained the prime minister of New Zealand, Christopher Luxon, by cooking him a breakfast of Roti Jala.
Apparently, a video of him holidaying in New Zealand caught Christopher’s attention who then extended an invitation to meet up for a casual conversation.
Regardless of the limelight that Khairul found himself in, are his contents truly the product of having a degree? This is an age-old debate, and has divided netizens in the comment section.
One netizen said this should not be a sweeping statement. Not everyone with a degree is clever while not every smart person has a degree.
Khairul Aming is Khairul Aming because he is educated, not because he has a degree. However, he could confirm that there are many influencers with degrees who make stupid contents.
In reply to one of the netizens who said the man had a master, RSB commented that he was a graduate from the United States. Is the United States then the pantheon of higher education? We think not.
Netizen hasbullah, on the other hand, countered that his achievements were a product of his good behaviour and not a matter of education.
We like to think that influence on cyberspace is a matter of both.
Undoubtedly, there are many entrepreneurs and famed personalities out there who have become successful without a degree.
This fact gives people the impression that degrees are no longer vital nowadays.
However, we should realise that a degree merely provides the knowledge for one to unlock the doors of success. How the knowledge is used, that depends on the person using it. – Sept 4, 2024
