    Ability pays the bills and not neccesarily skills. You can have less skills, but do things better than the person with a bucket load of skills.

    Otherwise all you would have to do is sit in the classroom and learn as many skills as you can and it dont work like that.

      You can be the most skilled person in the world but if you sitting on your couch you will be broke and poor.

      Skills dont pay for ****. You know what pay's the bills? Having a job and dedication.

      "Sir, you are 3 months late on your mortgage"
      "Well, let me pay with my skills, cuz you know, Skills pay the bills"

      There are alot of ****** mofo's who HAVE no skills but are still millionaires and rich, why? They were born into it, got lucky, married into it. Look at Fortune 500 and the number of idiots working there, they have no skills.


      Why are so many people having this phrase in their signature? Its the dumbest phrase ever invented,

      SKILLS DONT PAY BILLS, Money pay's the bills. and you get money from hard work.

      How many skilled people are broke and homeless? I guess their bank doesn't take "Skills" as payment.

      Umm.. in BOXING skills do pay the bills. Losers aren't making any money champ.

        I actually used that phrase on Monday at work and a female co-worker/friend next to me started laughing.

          and I also know some talented people and prodigies who are struggling to pay rent.

          Skills dont pay bills.

          Skills might help you make money to pay the bills, but you can be the most Skilled person in the world and still be broke.
          That is just not true. And you would be EXTREMELY naive to think otherwise. That is simply not the way the world works.

          If you are the best in the world at something that is in demand, you will always find your way to the top and money inevitably follows.

          Do you think there's this freak out there who just so happens to be better than Lebron at basketball, but just has gone unnoticed this entire time?

                    I guess you wouldn't say Doctors are SKILLED at practicing medicine or

                    lawyers are SKILLED at practicing law or police are SKILLED at apprehending criminals.

                    Their SKILLS get them paid so indirectly skills do pay the bills.

                      It would take networking and marketing yourself, which can also be a SKILL.
