Actually, in my view, education is the process of forming a person's identity or mindset and our ability to form rational thinking patterns in dealing with problems. Indeed, in an era like now, education is indeed important, so our education while at school does not make us able to do everything in our daily lives successfully. but that school gives us an understanding of the thought process in everyday life in earning income, That thought process is what actually makes us successful.
There is no guarantee that with the highest achievement index or academic intelligence you will be successful, but how far can you absorb and think about the knowledge you have learned so far. In my opinion, the determining factor for success is the skills we have in working at the company.
Sometimes one would wonder if anything come out for this school, the answer is yes and no. Yes because, without education, there are some level of mingling with people that'd be disrupted because you won't be able to blend in to their level of intelligence and understanding. Yes you may be able to communicate but there's a level of the communication you won't be able to get to with them. The answer is no because, the situation of things right now makes it so obvious that education isn't just the answer. Personally I'd advise that even in the process of acquiring educational knowledge, also acquire vocational knowledge. No one kill owls when any of these knowledges would be handy.
Another point is, currently securing official jobs is difficult and everyone basically wants to strive to make money and be an average boss of himself. This is where business comes in, you can't start a business you don't have knowledge about. They won't give you this knowledge in the school setting, it's you as a person that'd have to go outta your way to acquire it and lay a good foundation for yourself in that field if you want to venture into it.
It doesn't dispute the fact that education doesn't give income, whichever way, and in some cases, it does give income and in some other cases, it doesn't. So one just has to create a balance.
On one side, formal education is essential to social and intellectual mixing. Not simply academic brilliance, but exposure to other beliefs, cultures, and ideas. This exposure broadens one's horizon, enabling meaningful conversations and deeper connections. Also, consider soft talents like teamwork, leadership, and critical thinking. Isn't education nurturing these? Any social or professional engagement requires them.
But your 'no' reflects the reality many face. Vocational skills are growing essential. Think about it: they connect theory and practice. Education provides the tools, but occupational skills teach you how to use them. This method prepares for employment market uncertainty. And yes, academic knowledge alone rarely launches a successful business. It requires practical experience, market knowledge, and occasionally heavy knocks. It's about applying theory to practice to manage today's complex environment. Isn't that a more complete way to improve yourself and your career?
