Taking the IELTS will not open any doors to new employment opportunities. In no way is this a test of your English skills. If you want to go to a place where English is the primary language of business, this is the exam to take first. The ability to communicate effectively in English through both spoken and listened language is crucial for learning the language. To take the IELTS, you need not have a degree in medical or engineering, among other fields. You can quickly pivot into any scenario that requires you to use your English language skills. Those with a penchant for words can use their skills in the classroom, public relations, or advertising.
