During my education, I have never learned that education will make someone rich, what exists is that education can help us achieve success. If we dig deeper into the meaning of the word, we will find the fact that we ourselves are the ones who determine whether we will be at a point where we will be successful or not or in other words this is a path opener depending on us whether we will take it or not.

It should also be remembered that lessons can not only be obtained from formal channels but from informal channels there are many lessons that we never get from school. A person's life experience will also greatly influence that and we cannot get it from school, because it is limited there in my opinion. But does this mean that someone does not have to take an education? of course not, education is an important thing in life even though it does not guarantee success for someone, because as I said at the beginning it will return to each of us.

It is true, by obtaining a bachelor's degree at college, no one dares to guarantee success. because I think school results give us an understanding of the thought process, The thought process is what actually makes us successful. We must not be satisfied with what we get at school, forming personal character by continuing to learn and improve skills, something new I think we should do, If we don't want to sharpen ourselves with something new, it's like paper that is useless or your diploma will be wasted.
I think success can be achieved even though you don't go to school or don't have a diploma. A degree is just an additional name behind it and in my opinion it only makes a sign that the person who has the degree indicates that he has studied in that field, there is knowledge and skills that he may have. Why do I say maybe? because currently in my country there are people who have a lot of money and they can buy a degree without following the activities they should to get the degree, yes that is indeed the right of each.

although not everyone has a degree but it does not mean that not everyone does not have knowledge and skills, because I think even though they don't go to college there must be experience gained from outside relationships, and when that is obtained then what must be done is to hone it so that it is more mastered and maybe can generate profit. many people have a lot of money but sometimes they don't have enough knowledge, besides I think the degree obtained does not guarantee that it will make us rich.

No, being a graduate doesn't qualify someone to be rich. It takes a lot of time to complete your graduation and but we can see so many examples of dropouts who are among the world's richest people. When we talk about dropouts we first remember the name of Bill Gates, he's a dropout but he made huge wealth because he followed his passion.

Not only Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Steve Jobs, and many dropouts have reached the highest levels of wealth in their lives. If they can achieve such levels of wealth by being dropouts then why not others? I know that there are some graduates who have made also similar levels of wealth but I don' think that someone's wealth has any relation with their graduation.

You've got a point. You know, where I come from, people tend to calculate your level of intelligence and achievement if you have been through the four walls of a university and I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but considering how much it costs to fund an educational degree and come out a graduate, some take the option of just learning the basics; which is to read and write and then set off to either learn a skill or trade because there's no assurance that you might get a job that worth your status as a graduate.
 Most grads in my country,who don't have a skill or don't get the opportunity to find good jobs, often settle for meagre paying ones and some times can't be differentiated with those who did not graduate.
 I understand the angle you are coming from by mentioning these names because some will think it's a do or die affair if they don't end up as graduates or opportunities will be hard for them the moment they can't further their education but these names you called out have proven different.

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.

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.
Being a graduate of a truth should make you wealthy if you actually utilize your opportunities wisely. What do I mean, being a graduate should open your eyes to see your potential and knowing how to use it to solve problems or provide Value to the society, which will in return generate wealth. This does not mean that as a graduate your focus should not be to get an office work that will pay you well, that's not just the purpose of education. You should think of other ways of setting up yourself to generate wealth. The wealthiest people on Earth are not salary earners. So as an educated graduate you shouldn't just be aiming for some company to hire you, think of entrepreneurship and how to use your knowledge and solve problems, the moment you start solving problems or providing value automatically wealth will gradually come. As an educated person, you will do things differently and in more efficient ways than those who are not educated, but are your competitors.

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.


Asides from getting employed and getting a job which is the main reason why we are obtaining education, Education is important for our cognitive reason and development, composure and experience... Taking out 5 years of your time to study a course in a university gives you a level of discipline and gives you a little exposure on how to work with people.. After graduating what next? Graduating from college isn't a guarantee that you'd get a job within your field of study, especially if it's in a country like Nigeria where everything you need is just connection...

Being a graduate is not the key to being wealthy,yeah that's right but also the value of education should be neglected.We know that not all the graduates that came out 1st class are working in an organization/firm that offers them good pay,some even with their qualifications are still wandering and looking for a job like a fugitive.It doesn't matter if your a graduate,the power of acquiring wealth is in your hands if only you are determined and focused.Those wealthy people at the top became rich because they chased their dreams and achieved it.

Being a graduate can create way for you to be wealthy in future but it cannot guarantee you, that you will be wealthy which are some of the  things graduates you see in the streets looking for what to eat and wear in the town because they failed to use their certificate to create way to become a wealthy person.

One thing i know,  it will surely happen to a graduate no matter what he or she is passing through in the community, don't give up because a time will come when you will use your certificate to become a wealthy man or woman that will make people to celebrate you.

 Faith without work is dead according to the holy Bible, being a graduate without going out to search for a job, you will not become a wealthy man because you need to look for your field to start earning money that will change your story.

You make a good point. But I am rather coming from a perspective of finding the job but you may still not have enough left when you’re done with expenses and all you need to cater for. I won’t entirely say that the degree won’t find a suitable job because it depends on what niche you are in. For example people in the health sector need the degree a lot. What I mean is that you can’t be a doctor without a degree, same as some other niches too. And unlike programmers who may not need the school degree.

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.

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.

I don't know why majority people think that being educated guarantee us to become rich, education is very important in our life, it give us more knowledge and greater understanding about everything. When someone is being educated, they look different among the other people. I don't know your country but that is wise word. In my country, if you ask some young people about school, the answer you will get is that; many graduated students are out there searching for a job, and they are yet to find one, so it is wasting of time being in school because everything about school is money, they don't know that is for our own good. I've strong believe that education will give us a better life in the future, because many individuals who choose not to attend school will reject over their actions.

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.
Education is crucial, but its no longer a guarantee. We produce graduates who assume their degree guarantees a high-paying ideal job. It doesnt. The world has evolved, but we're following outdated rules. Future economies are beasts that dont care about nice paper. It wants to see if you can hustle, adapt, and handle money in this unpredictable economy. You need creativity and risk-taking

Unfortunately, we're stuck in the past and think a degree makes you successful. Like buying the wrong lottery ticket in hopes of winning large. We must go beyond tradition and teach financial smarts, market movements, and building your own thing. Do college courses teach that? The hell no. These skills provide people a fighting chance in this changing environment. We must change education or risk generations of failure. Lets give them modern tools, not old ones

I would say that everything depends from the person. There are many students who study in universities only to get a diploma in the end, and there are those who study to get knowledge. These two students are completely different when they graduate. Among Russians there are popular jokes, that every McDonalds or fastfood employee has MBA diploma, or students graduate only to get diploma and use it as cutting board or to swing with it to heat up coals when cooking meat on open fire. Diploma, without experience is nothing.

No skill can be acquired by just reading books and getting a degree and without skills it is foolish to think of getting rich in life.  If you want to run a business you need skills, job skills that you can never get by reading books.  However, it is possible to get a good result by memorizing knowledge by reading books, but it is not easy to be successful using it in real life.  Those who chase degrees only to get a good result can never become rich. those who run for skill should be rich they became rich

Finishing study is a class of achievements; it can only be tools to enrich our lives if we accompany it with the right strategy. Because if we don't accompany it with a unique strategy,
they will only be able to use what they have completed as employees in a company.

Therefore, having a degree or profession is not the key to becoming rich; it is not like that. It still depends on us how we will do it and use our completed studies.

Those that attend schools tend to be poor How many educated individuals are aware that the wealthy are not even well educated, despite their propensity for wise investing decisions? In actuality, you must develop yourself. Education is not even important these days. Additionally, you won't have any trouble developing yourself if you have a positive outlook on business. 

You just need to know how to plan and what tactics to utilize if you want to succeed. There are many different ways to make money. You also receive your university degree right away. You must begin planning how you will use your certificate of completion to earn. And because there are more people losing their jobs, that is one of the difficulties individuals are facing. Furthermore, possessing a qualification is not enough. You must alter both your perspective and the way you wish to earn money. Otherwise, your certificate will be worthless.

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.
We don't have to debate anything with other people and they just need proof that we can rise to prove we can be successful even though we don't have to be highly educated, don't waste your time convincing them because we can be successful in jobs that suit our skills and believe me that there are many road to Rome, focus on your work and when you are successful they will recognize your skills even though we actually don't need their recognition.

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.

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.

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.

Non-academic skills are very important for us to master, because sometimes the reality that occurs in the field is very different from what we learn during college. Although all the knowledge we gain at school is not always practical for our real life, it is important that we put that education into use and utilize it in our day-to-day lives. In this sense, the decision of whether to use education as a means of self-development, or even if we haven't completed any formal education, one can still improve oneself and succeed in achieving his/her goals, lies entirely with us. The point here is to be eager enough and have the diligence to keep learning and developing as a person.

The education machine in many countries has been infected by the constant corporate pressure to monetize every single aspect of peoples lives. There is always going to be a degree of money management required in the education system, but we may be seeing the balance tipping towards making colleges and universities more about profit generation than only seeking the best needs for the younger generations to learn from. Of course in this market salaries will be competitive at the top end, like any work environment, so there is always going to be competition for the best teachers and resources which requires raising money, but it puts such a heavy burden on the youngest minds that can be a very bad way to start in life - may more research needs to be done on that cost benefit analysis.
