Yes, we have to find every way to make it happen. So for all who want to become traders/investors. Now there are many golden opportunities to make a lot of money in the field of education and cryptocurrency there are many best investment sites with regular (daily) payments I think that way we will naturally have a lot of activities that we can do.

Do you believe the knowledge gained from education has the potential to change the world?
The development of science can trigger the development of technological innovation and make it easier for people in the world to carry out all their activities.
Of course you've seen computers when visiting libraries, laboratories, malls, and schools, this tool can help anyone in completing their work. This tool was created by people who have tasted the bitter and the sweet while education.
"Education is not the only key to success", but without education you can never enjoy all the conveniences that are facilitated around you.

Education is also an investment in the future. People who take the path of education are not only investing in themselves, but they can also provide many benefits and changes for themselves and others as well as for their country.

We can find knowledge, experience, and meaning on everywhere but school. IMO, schools are mainly only beneficial as a social institution, this part is where in your life you are tested whether you can do a basic chore. In the bigger sense, if someone is truly looking for knowledge or education, surely school curricular fixation sometimes is way more outdated. As in result, there is way more profound educational content someone could get when they are browsing around on the internet or simply just directly interacting with life.

This kind of mentality is also present in a lot of people here in my country. There is some truth in it, but I never support it. It is common for somebody here to say, "nobody got rich for going to school." And it usually ends up citing both local and the world's rich and famous; Bill Gates was a dropout, Mark Zuckerberg is a dropout, and so on.

The truth of the matter is that having an education is always better than no education. Education may not make you rich, may not be the key for a successful life, but having no education will significantly lower your chances in life. Education means knowledge and wisdom. Education means qualifying for jobs. Education means holistically-developed personality.

So whether education makes you rich or not is not the issue. Education is a need. Education is an investment. Go for it.

What education truly is, how the current educational system is a big failure, and so on and so forth are different topics altogether.

Well, thats true. It feels great to be your own boss than working under your boss. You wont be pressure and you're free to do anything for your own good.

Anyway education is a stepping stone for us to achieve our dreams but it doesnt mean you dont have a chance if you're uneducated. Its just that, for a degree holder people, they have an advantage to get a good paying job. In other words they can save more for capital if they want to start their own business. But if you're wise and determine, there's always a way because nowadays you can educate yourself through courses that can find on the internet.

I thought the same when I was reading the post of the OP, it seems he is confusing school and the credentialism that is expanding all over the world with education, it is true that the standards on the majority of schools all over the world are going down, just as an example I took the time to read the math book from a family member that is currently at high school, and since I still have my books from that time I took the time to compare them and the complexity of the new knowledge being taught was very low, so kids and young people are no longer being taught as we were and this explains while companies complain about their future employees not having the necessary skills they need to fulfill their jobs as they should.

Education gives the base, and it is upto us how we carry it forward. We don't have much of opportunities to survive which is true, but it is our inefficiency to complaint. It is our responsibility to do the best and make a change. When we have a proper goal and we run for it, surely we can succeed. Most of the time we limit ourselves and never think of long run, we just find ways to fulfill the present time need. This is the reason why people get educated and land in different job profiles that don't match them.

For education to be effective. People have to believe that reading and learning provide tangible benefits to themselves and society. They have to see the real world application of it.

The way education is implemented today. People don't see the real world value. Its not portrayed in a way which allows them to apply it to their daily lives. This is where education fails. Most students spend more than 10 years in compulsory education. Without learning much that is useful for a job or career. While corporate entities like TLC (the learning channel), history channel and discovery channel in the past did produce content which made learning fun and provided a good resource that people could use. The contrast between the two approaches was interesting. Until of course good educational content stopped being produced.

These days podcasts, youtube and independent content creators provide more valuable resources for education than schools.

The institutional segment of education becoming more about profits than providing a valuable resource to people certainly did not help these negative trends.

Like for profit prisons, the for profit aspect of education has seen the educational process deteriorate into what produces the most profits, rather than what a good educational experience should consist of.

I think at some point most people became convinced learning and reading were completely useless things. That is the biggest obstacle people face in terms of them becoming knowledgeable or educated.

Well, you have some point OP but having a good education is more advantage than those who have nothing and this becomes easier for them to succeed.
As you can see around, all the changes that we have seen are because we educate ourselves, we come up with the great idea because of that.
You can find education is useless and that was because we never find a way to use it properly. And what you said it was his/her choice because if he uses his head to look for a job, he never ends up just riding a bike but probably in a decent workplace.

Doesnt promise for you to be successful but having education or having simply a degree will really be putting up some advantage compared to other people who doesnt have a degree.
You could really be having some multiple options whether you would really be looking for job physically or any some sort but there are people who doesnt have a degree but do able to
to make themselves to be that successful via other means like freelancing or businesses or investment which could really give out that kind of chance
but honestly it would really be depending on how you would really make yourself do the hard work to make yourself improved.

Education does not promise a person to be successful. You have misunderstood education. Education is just being smart people.Don't expect after you get a big degree from education and get a decent job from the state, because so many people have big degrees while the needs of the country are few. Of course you have to compete.
So what is the function of education?
You dare to talk about investing because you have an education. People who do not have education will not understand investment, let alone crypto investment which is full of risk of price fluctuations.
People who have higher education, they think about creating jobs, not looking for work.
Actually the right sentence is, a diploma does not prove someone is smart, but a diploma only proves someone has attended school.

School does not primarily teach you how to become a successful boss, but it will teach you how to become a good employer. That's one sad reality of majority of the schools.
You can actually learn by your own. However, the difference is that you won't going to acquire any credentials for learning by your own. These credentials were needed to get a good and high paying jobs that could potentially get you a good start for your own business.
Employment nowadays doesn't base on actual skills but the credentials.

I made some point in my earlier contribution that your statement is giving more understanding and thought. Education has proofed to be important to the extent that those billionaires after getting to the apex of financial freedom, they also crave for another freedom that education give. They go to school to acquire either the education with certificate or to acquire formal knowledge apart from that they they had from their financial skills backed up with certificate. Therefore you hardly see a rich man without some level of formal education.

Well, it's true as you said education is not the only way to success, but it's become important for now. It is true that success can come from anywhere, for example in my place there is someone who only graduated from elementary school who can become a successful entrepreneur and there is another one who has finished his doctorate and is still unemployed. But even so, education is very important, now we can't just hold on to our ideals, we must be able to get the highest education, but if we can't take education, we should be able to take advantage of the various opportunities that exist in today's society and that way we can be successful.

Education is still a pathway to a brighter future. Being educated doesn't mean that you'll be rich and successful someday but rather you could embrace more opportunities easily because you're equipped with knowledge that is necessary to survive life. Yes, you can be successful in different ways without any title but having enough education is still an edge. It will be the best weapon that we could carry no matter what our choice of profession is. Being educated doesn't mean you'll do things perfectly but rather you'll be able to do things the right way.

Not all people like to become an entrepreneur even though they're the one who work for themselves and doesn't controlled by any person, but the thing is you need to have very high discipline and hard work, without both of it, you wouldn't successful.

The same like not all people like to work under someone, since they're feel stress as they got a low salary but they need to work for many hours.

Each person only image and want that they doesn't have at the moment, but when they already got it, they will think the previous job is better than the new one.

No matter how bad the country is,  education is still very important and also an utmost key to success,  it is actually better to be an educated person in a transport business,  than to be an illiterate.

Education prepares people are gets them set to grab opportunities when it shows,  an illiterate person that (maybe) discovered an opportunity  will still have to run to an educated person for help, thereby submitting him or her self to the mercy of the educated man /woman.

And mind you,  acquiring education does not necessarily mean going to school and spending several years there,  being educated in a simple term is submitting oneself to knowledge.

You will not be able to remove this one, because it is an economic balance. Don't just think that going through education is for knowledge, it includes establishing connections and relationships.
The measure of a person's success is relative. It doesn't matter who prefers to work under someone or create their own work, the fact is that many successful people achieve their dreams thanks to their job.

Education is good and Worth it but not in the African Countries like Nigeria. This days folks are after social media and are too lazed to pick up a book to read. But really, school and education ain't everything, bit also once you can assimilate mathematics, logic and physics, finance, accounting,and law,  I feel you're good too go. School really isn't everything, I look at the world Billionaires and how many finished university ? Lol.

Investing in oneself, investing in crypto ( Bitcoin ) understanding technology and becoming a builder are something's one needs in this era, because going to school with the aim of coming with good grades and end up being employed with folks you're far better than  intellectually. 

In Africa, before you learn about anything, go learn about your history before the white man came, to Africa and how it all was before slavery, you should know how strong you're and not feeling inferior of oneself. Out History this day are no longer taught in schools why ?

If you have gone to university completely, done the Nysc and back to the streets with a big file looking for a $20 dollar to be earned at the end of the month after being employed then you'll know school really sucks in some part of Africa. Ain't sexy mate!

One should really look for what he has passion for too chase, been successful takes time as one needs discipline and consistency in his/her field. But all this are just hard to bring in Nigeria and some African countries. Govt really making things hard, you have to leave this ends to achieve all of your passion and dreams and making them reality.

I think the basic education everybody should have is the ability to read, write and solve simple mathematics. Anybody that can read can educate himself on any field or endeavor. But we must also note that there are some profession that requires formal education or certification. Therefore formal education cannot be pushed aside. The problem we have in Africa is that everybody wants to be a university graduate. The reason is that the government and private sector favors paper qualification than skills. Most job vacancies in my country requires a university degree. This has made even people that has no business going to the university to begin to seek and gain admission into the university. In the university they engage in all forms of malpractices and  corruption to get the certificate. When they graduate they become unemployable because most of them should have been entrepreneurs, technicians or artisans.
