不支持的扫描，存储driver.Value类型[] uint8到类型* [] string

I have implemented rest api using golang, gin and gorp

Employee structure:

type Employee struct {
  Id            int64  `db:"id" json:"id"`
  Firstname string `db:"firstname" json:"firstname"`
  Lastname  string `db:"lastname" json:"lastname"`
  Dob           time.Time `db:"dob" json:"dob"`
  Skills        []string `db:skills json:"skills"`
}

In POST sending request as:

func PostEmployee(c *gin.Context) {
  var emp Employee
  c.Bind(&emp)

  skills, _ := json.Marshal(emp.Skills)

  if emp.Firstname != "" && emp.Lastname != "" {

    if insert, _ := dbmap.Exec(`INSERT INTO employee (firstname, lastname, dob, skills) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)`, emp.Firstname, emp.Lastname, emp.Dob, skills); insert != nil {
        emp_id, err := insert.LastInsertId()
    .....
    }
  ......
  }

This save data to mysql database, works perfect.

For retrieving data from database implemented GET request

 func GetEmployees(c *gin.Context) {
   var emps []Employee
   _, err := dbmap.Select(&emps, "SELECT * FROM employee")
   log.Println(err)
   if err == nil {
     c.JSON(200, emps)
 } else {
     c.JSON(404, gin.H{"error": "no employee(s) into the table"})
 }

GET query doesn't gives any data from database and log.Println(err) log says:

 Scan error on column index 4: unsupported Scan, storing driver.Value type []uint8 into type *[]string

Any ideas?
