Why are people with technical background better than the rest personnel?

Its not like that the technical Background are better then others.
Every personnel in an organization have there own importance and necessity that's why they have a place in organization.
technical background personnel's mostly work directly in Line and easily comes in eyes of everyone.
While others working as a support staff or other then Technical staff they work as a support function and only come in light when they have to give support to Technical Staff.
Every personnel in organization have there own importance.

it depends on the function.but i have yet to see any person who is really better than the rest.

people are all special in their own fields.people differ when we are compairing to candidates with the same qualifications but one have transformed his career further.

People with technical background usually brings to their jobs an exceptional problem solving abilities in their every day work.
Technical background and experience broadens the mind of the average worker and helps him to easily troubleshoot and swiftly find solutions to problems on the job in a timely fashion.
Time is very critical to the life of every job, therefore workers should be encourage to acquire one or two technical skills that will boost their overall performance on the job.

Respected Sir

I only partially believe in the statement.

I am a B.Com  gradate. But when I was given training to trouble shoot home networking issues with computers and technical issues with computers and printers I was able to do my job. And many of my co-workers were B-Techs. You need the technical acumen and the hunger to learn new things. That’s enough. But yes if the job is related to studies it is an advantage. Also a person with an  accounting background would understand the concepts of cost , cost cutting , revenue generation much better.
