The correct answer is 2.Education definitely protuberates the outlook of a person and his power of understanding becomes better.Whatever may be the character of the job, it needs a person who understands things clearly and executes them properly.If degrees are disconnected from jobs, zest for higher education will be extremely negligible, which might demotivate individuals to pursue higher education to upskill. Also, delinking Jobs with academic degrees and diplomas will diminish the need for higher education as many of them pursue such education for the purpose of the job. Even if jobs are connected to degrees, there will be a method of selecting candidates for jobs.However, receiving applications from too many candidates with meagre qualifications is not a strong enough argument against the given statement. One can eliminate such candidates if they are lacking the skills for the job.Hence only Argument 2 is strong.
