What are your qualifications in? Why did you choose those areas?

Most jobs, once you progress beyond entry level, which require higher education involve constant learning and skill building. I’m a Company Secretary and constantly required to keep my knowledge of the law, indemnity, regulatory compliance, ESG, sanctions etc up to date - not to mention my understanding of our large global company, its acquisitions and transactions, group structures, shareholding structure; and the wider environment of the industry I work in.

No, this sort of work probably isn’t going to replicate academic study; but ultimately the skills you learn in education are precisely to prepare you for similar skills you’re going to need in your career.
