It depends on the individual. Some are self-learners some are not and need an extra push.
Higher education is very important, not in higher education itself, but in the platform provided by higher education

Do you really need a Degree these days?
If you had to do it all over would you go to college?
Yes, ability is as important as academic qualifications, but in most cases, there is no academic qualifications, and there is no opportunity to demonstrate ability If you had to do it all over would you go to college?
Sometimes higher education doesn't mean success, but most of the times it means stability. Good example is the book millionaire next door, shows how all self-made millionaires invest in their children education and yet their children don't follow the same path.
I think that a higher education gives us the chance to easier switch jobs. It gives an indication to our future employer that we are willing to put in the hours and learn something. If we only want to work in one area and never switch that we don't really need a higher education. Only if its some top level jobs like becoming a doctor where the level of education is mandetory.

In fact, education is very important. The higher the academic qualifications, the deeper the education. I support high education.

I've been out of college since my sophomore year. But I think college is important. Most of us at the age of entering college, we hardly have too much experience to have a clear purpose for ourselves. If you work hard and are self-taught, then college shouldn't be a problem.
If we can avail to pay then why not but we knew how expensive college at our time now and there are so many parents that struggles to make it right.But of course college is Like a license that has no expiration and we can use in around the world as working tools.

It is important for everyone to have their college finish.But it won't be the basis of everyone's success but having such will have you a great foundation so whenever you go and whatever path you go, you already have a lead and greater foundation unlike the others.
Again, it's not the basis of success, there are many people that are out of school that became successful but I don't encourage the younger ones to follow the path of going out of college. Just finish it if you're able to do it.
Higher education is certainly important in today's society where educated people have a lot of dignity and are not employed in any work without higher education to be at least successful and fruitful researcher, one has to be in constant touch with contemporary research to acquire the skills to supervise. There is a need for practical work alongside ultra high level of basic research, which directly updates the technology, products and systems in the current market and helps to increase the industrial collaboration of a researcher.

But parents can not force what they want on their kids because they have their own will. Maybe before parents decide where they should study, parents can discuss with their kids so there will be no problem between parents and kids. We see many kids are running from their studies because their parents force them to always follow what they want without asking what their kids want.
but in the end? it is not.

I didn’t go to college & it stopped me doing nothing. I got involved in bitcoin early & made money, college didn’t do that. I think if you have a specific field of expertise as a target then go to college. So many people just go & study bum subjects & end up working in an office or being a teacher which is a waste of college fees.

Depends on ones definition of "Higher Education".
Being able to support yourself and a family through Life starts with very early on finding out what you are good at and have natural talent for:
Are you good with making things with your hands?
Good at conceptualizing problems and thinking about how to solve them?
Do you have an intense interest in How Things Work?
etc.
Knowing that then leads to the question of how to learn what is needed to become very good at it. For some people, perhaps the best they can do is become a drone factory worker, if that is the case then High School is probably all they need.
For others a Skilled Trade such as electrician, HVAC, carpentry, welder, ect. will be an excellent choice that is usually also very well paying. They will also require Higher Education in the form of getting trained and generally going through an Apprenticeship program. As a side note, many countries such as the US have a severe shortage of Skilled Trades workers - that usually translates into better money earned.
College I would reserve for occupations that require it such as Engineering, Medical, Financial, etc. To me the idea of a Liberal Arts type of 'degree' is just a way of saying "I have no idea what I'm good at"...

In my country there are so many millionaire or say even few billionaires who in terms of education might ot be even high school pass but still running the business successfully for years. So is it vital the answer will be both yes and no. But if one has an opportunity to study then there is no harm in learning and knowing more as in life at any point of time it could just be useful.
It’s very important. Now work generally depends on academic qualifications. If you have the opportunity, you still have to improve your academic qualifications. After all, science and technology are advancing now. We should also keep up with the trend of the times and learn more.
Internet life is now on the run , there are many people with no proper education that can become a Millionaire just because of the help from internet and their skill on it.Some are Online sellers , Some are Bloggers and others are scammers and Cheaters.
We cannot totally value life just because of our Educational attainment yet this is important in many ways but does not really required.
Yes but with this kind of Behavior and obsession only towards money we will have no progress right or very little ? We will only have Zombies who are only hungry for Money and Illintent

The word "SO" is over mentioned , Higher education is Important but we must remember that there is Life even you are not a title Holder.
and lets admit that most of the Popular person in the world are school drop out or did not finished their Higher education.
But they are persevered and dedicated so they achieved what they wanted to be,.

It is true that higher education does not guarantee us to be successful people. Even in my country, there are many people with higher education
who are still unemployed and have difficulty finding work. There are other factors that are very important in life so that we become successful people,
so higher education is not enough for us to become successful people. It takes big dreams and real action from ourselves to realize our dreams to
become successful people, higher education is only one of the supporting factors. So like you said, most of the popular people in the world do not
finish their higher education, but they can become rich and successful people. Because they are persistent to achieve their dreams.
What's important is the development of our talents and using that for the good of other people and our society/world.
You need to have the right education that teaches you the right things especially what are necessary to make you a better person for the good of others.
I hope we focus more on having school that develop diverse human talents. You can easily use the talented people to build a brand new society and anything good that can be built. They just need to be trained in the right way, by the right people and helped to become useful to their societies
It all depends upon what stage of life you are at. Higher education, like college, is so important at some times in our life. We want to be educated to have the best chances of climbing up the career ladder. But, at other times, it is a waste of time. There are career paths in life that do not require college.
We are also seeing a growing trend in online learning. In most cases, online courses are more convenient and they offer more options and there are some people who prefer the convenience of learning online.
