Learn to learn; the value of a degree is vanishing

Rajendra Pawar, chairman of the NIIT Group, says earlier if you learnt, say, cement technology of a certain type, the technology would last some 40 years, and what you learnt in college and in the first few years of working would be enough to see you through your entire career. But now, he says, technology is changing extremely fast and you might live up to 100 years. “So imagine the number of times you will have to make changes in your life. Lifelong learning is the rule of the game,” says the co-founder of the group that pioneered IT skilling in India.
