Topic: If being a graduate is the key to being wealthy, why are there poor graduates? - page 2. (Read 2107 times)

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.

Education cannot guarantee that someone will be successful in living their life, because some of those who have completed their education do not necessarily have the knowledge they have gained at school that they can apply in their lives, so it is difficult for them to have a job after completing their education, indeed It's true that education is only the first stage for everyone to be able to live their life without experiencing difficulties in finding work, 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.

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.

It is sometimes how you market yourself and how you find ways to use your skills into action to generate good income. Also, if you are just starting, don't be so choosy with the job. You need experience and skills. While honing your skills, that's when you can search for better opportunities and you can also improve your skills by taking some extra classes, whether online or actual courses. Don't stop learning as it will give you edge among your competitors.

Indeed, formal education does not guarantee you success. At this time, you need clearer skills and today to catch up with your learning and it is mandatory that you have to do it from today. It is indeed difficult to understand considering that there are many graduates now, so the competition is tighter and people's minds are different, so graduation is not a mainstay, including the environment we live in, it can have a much bigger influence and our own mindset of wanting to be more advanced is the basis for success. With graduation, there are no suitable job opportunities for us to do, which can also hinder success.

I agree but it is a common ticket to become successful in a career.

This is it. Those that are starters, this is where they can start with and capitalize the diploma and the studies that they've done over long the years that they've dedicated learning. It's a way but it might not guarantee a person's success but at least, it won't be taken away from you.

As someone graduates, the life that he's going to work on depends on how good he is and strategic you are as a person. With or without studies, someone can be successful and people might say life is unfair, which can be true sometimes but this is one good comparison of it to say that life is fair.

Yes, education is not the basis for judging someone to achieve success quickly, but education opens up all these opportunities because we will be trained and educated in terms of mindset and activities to be better at acting, but this actually returns to ourselves in undergoing education because most people who undergo it are not serious and just waste time, therefore there are some people who are educated but poor.

To be honest, if taking education must have relevance to our goals in life, such as wanting to be rich, don't go to political school because it will produce corruptors, why not take a business major, it will be more in line because it will be guided to become an entrepreneur and you can get a lot of business contacts, things like this must be dealt with from the start before deciding to continue your education.

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.

Educational background is only one of the many important assets we need for life. And just having a good educational background won't help too much, even in today's world of work. Because apart from educational background, we also need patience, perseverance, discipline, hard work and consistency in entering a field. Apart from that, relationships, financial capital and our family background are also sometimes things that we must have in certain countries if we want to easily get a job.

But if it's about achieving success, such as opening your own business, then the important capital apart from education is money and creativity in the business itself. Because currently business competition has become tighter than before. All kinds of businesses in all fields have always existed. and it's just a matter of how we become more creative and more unique and can attract the attention of customers well.

Our success and fate won't be determined by a single degree. But this portrays a big part for the majority of the people because many opportunities shall come to them and there are undergrads that have a better life than of the few graduates because they know how to deal with this life and they're talented and hardworking that they keep on hustling whatever they see with the opportunity that opens on them. What I am noticing in many countries, when you're not able to finish your studies in college, they're going to belittle you as if they've purchased your soul and there's no left for respect and humanity.

I've got a lot of friends that didn't finish studies but they've got a better life and business than of those that have finished studies and relied mostly to their jobs. The reality of this world is that its shape is circle and connecting this with life, life is also circle and we don't know if we're at the top of the wheel or soon we're going to be at the bottom of it. The main point is to be humble at all times, regardless of what you achieve and what your status is now and in the future.

Being a graduate one can only say you are a literate but doesn't guarantee you will be wealthy in anyway. In our society they have made school look like a road to financial success which is far from reality.
School can only give you the edge above others in a job pursuit.

As a graduate it only qualifies you in the society not in a financial race, I know some will talk about white collar job and all that, no matter the job offer you have you only live based on your salary and must meet up with the demands of your boss.

In essence you build your wealth, and sort for means that will aid you on the journey. Those who are wealthy have service they render to the public, so build value to be wealthy with your certificate because certificate only make one a worker and doesn't give financial freedom.

A diploma is just a sign that someone has studied but not a sign that someone has thought, and it is actually a fact that no matter how high your education is, education can never be used as a benchmark for achieving financial success, and we can see that there are quite a lot of people who only graduated from elementary school but they managed to achieve wealth by having many businesses. This means that education is not a guarantee of success but education is nothing but something that can make it easier for you in terms of making money.

As we know that most companies now make education a requirement for applying for a job which means that having a higher education will help make it easier for you to find a job but in no way can guarantee you to be able to achieve success, and the difference with people who are not educated is in terms of knowledge, but isn't success not achievable if you only have knowledge? of course, meaning that the success achieved by uneducated people is because they have strong intentions and determination along with having a hardworking mentality and good consistency in terms of pursuing their dreams even though they basically initially have limitations in terms of knowledge and insight, because it is useless even though you have knowledge if for example all of that is not accompanied by action and hard work. This means that everyone has the same opportunity to succeed but perhaps with a different process regardless of whether they are educated or not.

Having a college education isn’t necessarily the key to becoming wealthy in life but then, you won’t deny that having a college degree gives you an edge over a high school diploma in the job market. It shows having a college degree is important nevertheless.
No doubt, there are people who have managed to start up and successfully manage a business without having a college education. Those businesses would be small businesses and later on, you’ll fine the owner of the business going back to college to learn a thing or two to earn a degree.

If you want to get up the corporate ladder, you need to have degrees and have the skills to get your side of work done too. But of course that should not be the end of the game, you should always increase your skillset and learn new skills while honing the old ones and parallelly work on your education. All this might seem difficult but is possible even at increasing age if you have have the passion and determination for the same.

While some entrepreneurs might be school dropouts, most of us dont have the brains for that. So there is no questions of not getting a college degree.

Indeed. A degree is necessary, however if you don't have the skills that the company is looking for to their applicants, then there's a low chance that you'll get hired. But it doesn't mean education is not the priority, because nowadays it is still crucial for people to be able to land for a better job. It's just that, you have to use what you learned to gain a specific skills that you can use to gain.

Education is not sufficient to become wealthy, it's just a stepping stone. It is still depends on us on how we're going to use these learnings to acquire skills for our own benefit for long term.

In developed countries, it’s even better because some students will be having good practicals before they graduate and will secure job immediately after graduating from school. While in under developed countries, your degree cannot guarantee you a good paying job, in fact, a craftsman is even better since they can use their experience to earn a leaving, and if you have good skills and some creativities, you can use them and drop your degree certificate for future purposes.

There is no doubt that education is important, and it is a good factor that helps in developing countries, but having a degree cannot guarantee you a good job, you need extra skills to survive that is why young guys are venturing into tech.

definitely, there's just simply too much thing to be missed if we don't pursue education at least having bachelor degree is already sufficient enough no need to get master degree and so on it already gives us opportunity that we never have before, even more so if we are coming from reputable university thats a huge plus point that boost our credibility seeking job would be easy if we are trying to build career as an employee.
regardless doesn't mean that people that doesn't have any degree won't survive they will but with so much limitation, if anyone interested to take on the challange feel free to take it head on, but just know that having proper education does help a lot if you ever feel to live easier life.

depends on the scale of entrepreneur that such person is building if its great scale talking about multi million dollar and beyond, degree might do good, at least to raise funding.

No one is denying that college degree is must for corporate sectors like banks, industries and others. We live today in an interconnected world where everyone is free to communicate with rest of the world. Today we have freelance industry where large number of people are working remotely and they are boss of there own. There is no requirement of college degree if you are planning to move to such sectors but for other sectors which you mentioned - a college degree is must. 

A college or university degree is not just to be used for government jobs, in fact many companies require many more of degree than the government because in some descipline, you just need a degree to survive the competition like the engineering descipline, the banking sector, the industrial companies and many more but skills is something both a graduate and non graduate need to acquire, you can add it a supplement to your cv when looking got a work and it will help as an advantage.

A person who has a college degree will be the last to consider than a person who has a college degree with a skills because in school, what teach you is theoretical but in job, you do practical. This is what they don't tell many people in schools, it's funny how you see a person with all the degrees but doesn't understand how to use a Microsoft word and Microsoft excel skills, these are the basics skills that matter.

When someone starts their business with an educational history, of course they will be able to find relationships that will be able to make the business we run have good potential for the future, but this really depends on the business we are going to build, as you said if we build For small businesses, of course we only need capital that is appropriate for the business we are going to build.
Having a bachelor's degree will of course give us good opportunities in anything if we can do it according to the abilities we have and I agree with you that if we don't currently have a bachelor's degree, of course we are behind the times and we have missed many opportunities.
