Topic: If being a graduate is the key to being wealthy, why are there poor graduates? (Read 2107 times)

While I won't say what you said is wrong,due to the economic statistics now being a graduated those not matter, because with your degree you won't find a suitable job to sustain yourself and your families,but I don't know why majority of we humans like 90% of us thinks being a graduate you can archive all your goals and become what ever you wanna become in life but the country will leave now isn't about degrees, there are a lot of graduate out there without a Job, rummy around the Street seeking for a job even Worthy 40k a monthly buh is hard to get I feel so heartbroken writing this but I pray our leaders seek to our graduate brothers and sisters out there.

Finishing your studies is not the key to achieving success in life. It is just the first step that you need to build yourself and help you prepare for the obstacles that may come to your life. It's one of the weapons you can use to fight with the reality in life. Now, once you graduate, it is up to you how you can nourish the things you have learned to improve yourself and become a better person who can bring you success and wealth. Some still fail even after achieving and learning a lot in life, but the key to managing on continuing the journey to be successful and wealthy is to never give up and continue to try again.

People say that Being a graduate is the key to being a slave and I kind of understand the point because every graduate goes out to find a job and when they find the job, they are so excited and begin their 9 to 5, and could work the job for years and still not have so much money in savings. If you think about the wealthy people in the world today, they didn’t get there by being a graduate. Being a graduate can lead you to wealth but it isn’t often the case from what I know.

In my country, their is a saying that goes like this; you must not go to school to be successful, but you have to go to school to be enlightened, education doesn't necessarily guarantee success, but it mostly enlightened you for you to be able to see things differently, but for you to be successful, you have to be able to solves people problem, by rendering service to people in what ever form.

As for me I don't see schooling as a means of being successful, I just sees it as part of the process, that enlightens you, and gives you the ability to have a clear picture of life, but as an individual, you have to have that ability to think out of the box which will definitely make a difference in your life.

as you said, education is an important thing, because by having a good enough education a person can have a good opportunity to develop their life for the better in the future. but even so, people who graduate do not necessarily have a better job or life than people who don't graduate, because graduating is just one of many paths to success. and because of this, not everyone who graduates can have a good job, there are also those who are still unemployed, but there are also those who don't have an educational background but have a good business or job because of their skills.

because there are many paths to becoming rich, and becoming a graduate is only one of them and it is not a guarantee.

I don't care about their sarcasm, I consider it to be the wind. They contribute absolutely nothing to my life, so why should I care what they say. It would be better if I continued to focus on the plan I had made beforehand. Responding to their words will only waste the precious time we have, responding to their words is the same as solving unnecessary problems. Because the best way to silence their mouths is to prove the success we have achieved through the path we have chosen.

This kind of experience of yours is a good example of why education shouldn't be the primary aim if it's not required for the part which you choose in life.

I have seen a lot of graduates out there without a job, the response they get from the society out there is very terrible but the problem doesn't end there, if they stay without a well paid job for a long time it will lead to depression. And it was almost the same situation with you, but the difference is that you decided not to give an ear to such response.

It's not very uncommon to hear about that kind of situation where someone who's an undergraduate but still able to be successful in life. The thing is people such as those are the ones who know how to market themselves, either have the skill to communicate better than any of those people who have diplomas or can show more confidence that most of the time needed especially in the corporate world.

It's all about how we apply what we learn in life, not solely the learnings we get in school because not everything we learn at school is useful in life. It is still up to us whether we will use that education to become a better person, or just like above, if you don't finish your education, it's up to how you level up yourself to achieve the needs to start the journey to become successful in life.

First off, I must say that Education is very good and i don't dispute the fact that it's very vital and necessary for human development, it can put you in a position to be successful no doubt but being a graduate is not a 100% guarantee for one to be very wealthy, one can be very sound academically but lack some basic skills of acquiring wealth. Also one can still have some good knowledge of certain skills but if there's no zeal or self confidence in earning a living through it then your education on those skills can be said to be a waste since you ain't making effort to earn from it.

 Also I've heard several people complain about having good grades, being 1st class graduates but find it difficult to secure good paying jobs, imagine someone struggling to achieve good grades in the university but find it difficult to earn a living and at the end settle for minor jobs while there are many dropouts with good skillsets as well as being creative and think outside the box, and are bosses of big organisations and companies.

 Well it's not basically about being educated or graduating with the best grades that makes you wealthy, it's about determination, being consistent and also persistent cause success and wealth are not achieved in one day or immediately after graduating. In as much as you have good grades, you must still improve your skills, not only job skills, marketing or management skills but your critical thinking and problem solving skills.

~but there are some people who don't have a school education but they can still be successful in their lives with the experience they have that can give them an income.
Continuing to try to be better than yesterday, of course this will lead us to achieve the success we are targeting and we also have to be able to see every opportunity that exists and be able to take advantage of it in order to achieve success.

When we dive into lower society, don't expect them to understand enough about education. When you graduate from college and return to society, they will never ask what major you took during college, because they will assume that the graduate is a versatile person who knows everything. and they often assume that those who graduate from college and get a bachelor's degree are someone who has a decent job in an agency and has a high income. And I personally have experienced this, where when I had graduated a few months and returned home, I received questions from the community about where I work and the wages I get every month, and when they found out that the wages I got were much smaller than with those who didn't go to college, that's where my patience started to be tested, I received ridicule from them and they even thought that education was useless. I can't close the mouths of those who continue to ridicule me, other than closing my ears tightly, and trying to keep moving forward in order to achieve success.

exactly! not everyone who finished school learned something in school, others were forced to graduate. having a diploma is a big advantage in career growth, it's up to the person how they carry themselves once they have finished their studies. We can't recommend to others not to continue studying just because you can still get rich even without a degree as long as you have a strategy in life, education is also important so that other people don't underestimate you, especially most of the people today are looking at the state of life and what you have completed in school.

Basically, education is not the key to success but it's one of the key to success.

Long term ago when it was still the era of education where after graduation you will have to get a job and be considered a successful man or woman that's when education was very necessary for everyone.

In this current generation you only need education of only the area of which you which to venture into requires it hence one can just be focused in any area of their choice and learn from there hence become successful in the business.

Another thing I have observed is that a lot of people have misconception of education, although the meaning of education is learning something new but we considered it to be high institution learning rather learning in general. If it's considered education generally then it's very very important to be successful.
