Another user highlighted the importance of not just formal degrees but also language skills, life skills, and other skills in demand in the global job market.

The discussion also touched upon the failure of successive governments in attracting investment to Bihar, with infrastructure, law, and order, and the lack of implementation of Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) being cited as significant obstacles to industrial growth in the state.
