But traditional sectors exhibit preference for work-related qualification. These sectors require technical knowledge and job-relevant expertise.

Some Industries Actively Encourage Diversity

For example, studying Psychology helps a person become an outstanding salesman. Engineers make good managers.

Some industries actively encourage such diversity. They seek qualifications that are not exactly relevant but matching to their job requirements.

Such employees are sought for their flexibility. For example, a psychologist would definitely make a good salesman. His subject knowledge has given him an awareness of human thoughts, emotions and reactions. This knowledge is effectively used by the marketing and sales department. Psychologists accurately judge human emotions to raise the sales graph of the company.

In fact, a psychologist may be more effective at this job than an actual salesman. But expecting a psychologist to turn a good dentist is wrong. Dentistry needs technical expertise.

Engineers also make better managers. For, any industry that is based on engineering knowledge (like construction, iron and steel, mechanical, chemical industries, etc) requires engineers at the managerial level. Mere business management students cannot handle the job well, for the industry to be successful requires a combination of managerial skills and technical knowledge.

In conclusion, we can say that only certain sectors require employees with the exact job-related educational qualification while some sectors actively seek diversely educated candidates; for these candidates have developed their core skills while mastering their subjects at the university level.
