Grammar
Use of "Academia"
I am writing something at the moment which contains this sentence:
"My skill set stretches beyond academia."
Is this correct? It sounds amazing and I would assume you know what I mean by this, but when I searched for a definition for academia it said it is just a term to describe a collection of students and scholars which is not what I mean. If I am using it correctly, could somebody rephrase it please?
I really want it to just say that I am not just focused on academic achievement (but I don't like the achievement part).
Can somebody help please?

Hi, Basically, 'academia ' means 'the academic world'. I wouldn't call your sentence wrong, but it sounds a little pretentious to me. Clive
