I think having a degree is just having one step ahead with someone who does not have. There are different factors to consider. And sometimes, people start from humble beginnings due to their hard work and perseverance has a higher chance to get the bountiful life ahead
It is true that having a degree is a plus because with it we have insight and increase our knowledge and of course when we have an academic degree our thinking will be different from those who do not have an academic degree. However, having a degree is not a guarantee of success or a better life in the future, because many do not have a degree but there are also those who are successful and some are even rich. The real key to success is hard work and having a goal.

So it could be said that having a college degree does not necessarily guarantee a better life in the future, going to college only delays success. Because success does not require a college degree. I talk like this because in the neighborhood where I live, many kids nowadays want to go to college because they follow their friends/for prestige. Without thinking about the importance of college. So after graduating, many people are confused about finding work. In fact, if you think about it, it's a shame that a lot of time, energy and money was wasted paying for college. Therefore, before starting something for the future, everyone is wiser in taking steps forward.

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.
Graduating from university does not make you richer because actually achieving wealth does not depend solely on the extent of your education. Many people gain wealth from developing businesses and many people gain wealth from the investment process, but not everyone has a high educational background. Wealth is taking advantage of opportunities and capital is an important foundation for people to make more money because without capital we cannot achieve the desired level of wealth.

If you want to become richer then prepare several steps and if you don't have capital then you can take advantage of working in other people's businesses first. Once you have successfully accumulated money and your experience has matured, you can build your own business slowly, after that you can develop your own business and enjoy the profits for yourself.

Going to school and being a graduate doesn't guarantees you success it only equips you with the knowledge and skills to be able to strive to achieve success but yet doesn't guarantee you might end up achieving the success you strive for eventually. We all have seen many graduates that steived hard but still ended up average or poor. The only thing that school guarantees us is knowledge, knowledge to know your right and where it starts and end, which is why a highly literate society is usually a peaceful society to live in unlike a highly illiterate populated societies.
also certain degree does indeed contribute to its students to be adept at certain and specific knowledge, for example is being a doctor, definitely you need to be within the standard of being a doctor and this kind of knowledge only found in university that have that faculty.
the point of university in the first place should be just for learning skills and being certified for learning one, thats it, people thinking college can somehow magically make them rich are just dreaming.
because we all know that whether to be success or not entirely depends on ourselves, the world doesn't owe us anything.
but in the other hand we need to carve our ways and path to be successful and its not going to be easy, so many competitions out there, are we sure that we can stand out or instead just gonna falls behind we don't know for sure.

How many of the actual graduates hold the knowledge of what they are graduated? They just learn something in a top college public colleges to get a job then just sit in their comfort until they retire but one who is rich now worked their Ass to get into this stage and only they know how much struggled to get here and importantly they found a solution to the existing problem in the society that can be monetized is the most efficient way to make quick money.
Of course, you can’t make money and get rich if you don’t work hard for it and even struggle. There’s no shortcuts to succeed, everything is paid with hardwork and perseverance at first. And even graduates are not an exception. They should still consistently apply the theories they have learned in their colleges, and if they excel to that and manage to make extra efforts, then being financially successful in the long run will always be possible.
Academic skills is mainly to gain knowledge that we should apply in the real life scenario that will turn out to be a business as either service or product but why most graduates don't reach that position is just because they settled for a job and they are not thinking beyond that and that's for we have been seasoned since our birth by our parents, teachers, society and everyone.

Education is valuable, but it's not the sole determinant of wealth so being a graduate doesn't guarantee wealth as wealth can be achieved through various path like, investment and entrepreneurship, If you are fortunate to secure a job after graduation then that's just luck and connection. I believe that being a graduate only shapes and molds you to present yourself positively and guides your path as most wealthy men in the world today like mark Zuckerberg were school dropouts, but the little education he had helped and molded his mindset to become whom he is today.
A lot of people still depend on education to be successful and if we still have that mindset then we have made serious mistakes still believing that education is the key, the world is now driven by so many things to be able to make, then people give so much belief to education but not anymore, is it that the number of people that are educated are too much because still wondering what is the reason that education is losing its value, and people have been encouraging over time to have a skill even when you go to school but people think that education is for broke people, and people with skill are the one getting jobs. because those that when to school are still finding it difficult to get a job.  and it should either be a skill or an investment plan for every youth these days it is difficult for you to just graduate and secure a job instantly. you want to survive after school you start making plans.
I wouldn't say that education is losing its value bro, graphic designers and the rest of them still needs a little bit of education to deliver their skill, even Satoshi himself is literate because an illiterate couldn't have been able to create what we all enjoy today. Education is not a key way to success but it has its value and impact on us, in a world that technology is taking over we all need a little bit of education to pave through.

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
Many graduates today struggle to support themselves because they can't find jobs, even though they graduated with good grades. In the past in my country, graduating from university used to guarantee job opportunities, but those days are gone. Now, the job market is more competitive, and many qualified graduates find themselves unable to secure employment. This shift has left many feeling disillusioned and frustrated as they navigate a challenging job search landscape that doesn't always reward academic achievement with career prospects.

Also I've heard several people complain about having good grades, being 1st class graduates but find it difficult to secure good paying jobs
In today's job market, some first-class graduates are encountering challenges in securing employment. However, I believe the difficulty in finding a job despite having good grades largely depends on the profession one chooses. Certain fields offer more job security and opportunities for those who excel academically. For instance, professions like nursing or medicine typically have high demand, and graduates with excellent grades in these fields may find it easier to secure employment compared to those in other disciplines. While job availability varies across industries and regions, studying courses with high demand and graduating with distinction can enhance one's prospects in the competitive job market, providing a pathway to success despite prevailing challenges.

There are so many people out there who are fighting tooth and nail to get a degree and become graduates, there are even quite a few parents who are struggling to find money to send their children to college, in the hope of becoming graduates. And one day they will will graduate, the child can get his family out of the shackles of poverty. However, what the child is looking for is not knowledge, but rather a degree and a piece of paper which will later be used to fulfill the requirements for applying for a job. In reality, after graduating, being able to immediately get a decent job is just a daydream. because the diploma you get is only proof that you have attended school, but it doesn't mean you have studied and understood the knowledge. Meanwhile, what a company needs is not just a piece of paper, but also the abilities and skills that you have. And this is why many of them have graduated from college but never achieved success.

Because being a graduate is not the key to being wealthy? Majority of the richest people in the world did not even finish college, and the ones who did usually did not finish anything major neither. Education teaches you how to be a great worker, not how to be a great business owner, it doesn't teach you how to lead, it teaches you how to follow. That is why education exists, to give you a guaranteed path, and if you follow it, you will find a good decent job and live a mediocre life.

If you do not study though, you could technically be like Mark Zuckerberg, or you could be the homeless guy around the corner as well, who knows. People study, to have a certain minimum, but it doesn't give you a key to wealth at all, that's not even the purpose of it.
Diplomas aren't on all millionaires' walls. To argue education merely creates followers, not leaders? Quite a narrow view. Education is about critical thinking, problem-solving, and learning to learn, not just memorizing facts. Leaders and innovators use these

Think about it: Wealth isn't just about starting a billion-dollar business. It's also about savvy investments, market comprehension, and financial planning, which schooling can teach. The idea that education leads to mediocrity is antiquated. It's not the only way to succeed, but ignoring it? This is aggressive and shortsighted

I think many people have misinterpreted the true meaning of education. Education is not to make someone rich, but education is a process for someone to expand or deepen their knowledge. It may be possible to become rich by pursuing higher education, but it is one of the thousands of paths available and I think it depends on the person.
I see many people who pursue higher education just for the degree, while their knowledge does not increase at all because they prefer to be outside the classroom when there are subjects/courses. But can we condemn them to never be rich? I don't think so. There are also those who are very diligent, but will that guarantee they will be rich? Not really. Once again I would say it depends on how hard the person works and dares to take risks.
Not literally rich in terms of money but it would be rich in terms of knowledge on which this is something that you would really be able to make use on your future endeavors. It is really just that wrong to have that kind of assumption that you would really be that getting rich already once you have finished studies. Just like on what said above that this is really just that the first step of your journey. Although it
wouldnt really be that easy but it doesnt mean that it would be impossible for someone to be able to achieve. It would really just that matter on how well you do make up those decisions and choices
in regarding on the things that you are dealing with, plus a little bit mix of luck on which this is something that relevant too.

This is why if you do have plans on making yourself that wealthy then it would be just that right that you would really be needing to take actions and be wise too.
If you do see that getting a job despite of a college graduate, then try other fields on which you could really be able to utilize your skills and knowledge.
Try and try until you succeed.

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.
Do we have to see education as a step to getting a job with a good salary? The meaning of education should not be as narrow as the thinking of people who want to get a decent job and a big salary. There are many best graduates with cum laude honors at universities who do not have decent jobs and they even receive salary offers according to the regional minimum effort. Meanwhile, people who did not continue their education at university have become successful businesspeople and I feel that is because they previously preferred continuing their education rather than building a business.

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.
Becoming rich is everyone's desire, but not all of us are destined to be rich. Whether we are educated or not really depends on how we can develop our potential because working in the government sector will not make us richer. On the other hand, those who dare to get out of their comfort zone will build businesses or other jobs to make more money and they will enjoy success and not have to work harder when they have achieved everything.

Because those graduated students have no skills that they can implement and earn money. I am also a graduate student and have done bachelor's science computer science and what I have learned so far is that until we don't have good skills we can not change our life or we will not see ourselves becoming rich. Learning skills are very important well I am not saying study is not important, but along with study focus on learning some skills that will help you to survive easily in real life. Through these skills you can make money.

If we see some rich people including Bill Gates who did also not get good grades in his studies but his interests made him the world's richest person he used to focus on his coding skills when his friends were playing around him but ignored all of them because he know he has to achieve his goals and today you can see him where he is how much he has earned from his skills. So focus on the skill more and less on study rather you can say study on your skills. That's my point.
Being educated is your first step towards reaching your goals in life. If you are not knowledgeable, you will never learn about skills and how to develop them as your potentials to succeed in life. So we should still make it a point to finish our studies first as highly as possible.

However, I also believe that in order to be wealthy, one should possess exceptional skills in life, not only one but multi skills so you can take advantage every opportunity that comes. If you have enhanced your own skills, you can make it as your source of income without being employed in a big company. Indulge in business and investments because those are the keys to accumulate wealth faster than being employed for life.

Lots of graduates are here in my country, and they are not rich. Most of them are finding it difficult to feed themselves, and where some of them are getting it wrong is that they are relying on the government to give them jobs, but sometimes you have to establish yourself, you don’t have to wait for anyone to employ you. Education does not guarantee being rich, there are some people in rural areas with little education, and they are fucking rich. If you are educated but not smart or hardworking, you will still be poor. If you are educated, you will be able to utilise the opportunity you have.

Also I've heard several people complain about having good grades, being 1st class graduates but find it difficult to secure good paying jobs
I have once heard it that some companies don’t really like to employ first class graduates because they believe most of them are good in theoretical aspects and not in practical aspects. Most of them do assimilate easily when reading, but they have little knowledge about the practical aspects, and most companies want people who are really good in practical aspects. So graduating with a first class degree doesn’t guarantee a good paying job.
 
The advise I do give people in school is that, whenever you are in school, always learn a skill. If you graduate from school and you don’t have a good paying job, then you can just establish yourself, and gradually you will be able to grow.
