Topic: Money and education - page 13. (Read 2148 times)

Here in my country, education is directly related to money. Years ago I was watching this anime HunterxHunter, and there is this particular scene on the show in which an aspiring hunter wants to become a hunter to continue his medical degree. I couldn't forget what he said on the specific scene where he shared that his childhood friend died to a disease which is curable but needs hefty sum of money for treatment. He said that "I was a fool for thinking that I could become a doctor and treat poor people and tell them it's free, but it turns ot in order for me to become a doctor I need more money" and so he says "Money is the most important thing in the world", although not that much but the reality we live nowadays is somehow close to what the show portrays.

There seems to be no guarantee that if a country has a good education it will make the economy better, one of the examples of countries that has been conveyed by the OP. I agree that everyone needs education because it can provide support for everyone to get to know technology, industry and others.

From a country's economic point of view, education is not one of the factors that give economic strength, but there are other factors that can influence it. The provision of convenience to citizens is also based on the economic power possessed by each country, so that its availability can reach all the people it owns.

Money and education are like things that are difficult to separate, if a country has a good education then usually the economic conditions will get better, this is what makes many countries provide facilities and even free of charge for their citizens so that their citizens have a good education.

It is true that money is the most powerful thing in this world,  But to earn this money you need to acquire knowledge and that is what you get through education. No matter how many rich people there are in the world, no matter how many money people there are, they have all managed to assume their positions through their own merits through formal education or non-formal education. But according to my personal opinion, I would say that to earn a lot of money, don't chase money, get education in such a way that money chases you.

I think people misunderstood what "education" is, if we are talking about just graduating, you could graduate from the best schools and still be a moron, I have met a lot of people who graduated from elite schools, like literally top 10 IN THE WORLD and they were still knowledgeable about just one thing, because they focused all their life on that subject, and they were stupid about everything else.

You can't be uneducated neither, don't be those "facebook moms" who read some fake news on facebook and think they know it all, thats how the whole "anti-vaccine" thing spread, because it was cool to be different and they saw "a facebook post about how it is bad", you need to find basically that sweet spot of actually having education and knowledge about desirable skills that worth money and it will make you rich.

Money and education both go side by side. In our culture we say
Money doesn't always promise good manners - most of the people do consider education more than money while marrying in our culture. Most of the people do prefer education over money. They believe if in hard time and educated person lose money they can get money again through hard work

With the way things go nowadays, especially since remote work is forcefully implemented by the prior pandemic, I think you could pretty much carry on studying for your degree whilst earning a little for survival and a little for savings. There are sites out there that offer remote work for people who are like you. And gone are the days when employers discriminate against new-hires or people with no employment history, especially in the Virtual Assistance industry. I suggest you try going to upwork and creating an account there to offer your services. I'm pretty sure you're talented, the world needs a lot of talented people now more than ever as every sector in technology advances faster than the whole world could keep up.

The big misconception is that, most of those who graduate from universities have this mindset of getting a job after graduation, it is a big shame to our society at large.
Being educated does not mean you must be employed or must work in an office.
-How about starting up your own business?
-How about building your own company and move your self from being a job seeker to an employer?

This is one of the reasons why the educated, most times, end up working for the uneducated, and I say shame, to any one who is educated but is still been feed by his or her parents due to lack of job, the government cant employ everybody, get your sorry ass up and start a business, and stop waiting for someone else who have done what you are supposed to be doing now, to employ you.

When you analyze the post of someone who's in bitconitalk for example, you can easily decipher the level of that person academically you can have a clue of the level of the person's scope through his level of analytical thinking, and evaluation of different thought patterns this may attracts more merits and approval of the person's posts, I saying this to say that though the goal of everyone may be to make money but the educational skills you acquire can and will make you stand out in any field of endeavor, so it's important to build your skills, and have a good educational base because if you chase money you'll be limited in so many ways.

It can be said that money and education as difficult to separate, many people are successful because they have good educational backgrounds, there may be people who do not go to school and are successful but if we count the percentage of course very small, a journal that has been done states that the key to success First is education, with education, one can determine the clear direction in the future.

Even though unemployment rate on your country is high but it wont really be that viable reason for you to stop and wont really be getting yourself some education due to that.We do know that it isnt really just on

your local place does have the opportunity but also in other places as well where you can potentially apply for whatever work it would really be and advantage compared to those people who dont have a degree.

Education is really that important because not only for job seeking but also you are really that making yourself that fully aware on things that you are really that dealing with.
Unlike into those people who dont have much idea and knowledge then you do know that you are really that on advantage for someone who do knows something.

Considering the cost of tuition fees and student loans debt, going to University for four years may not be worth it. I understand OP better because we are from the same country. It’s hard to find white collar jobs in this part of the world even with the best qualifications. You spend money and time in University to get your degree only to find out that things operate differently outside the school walls. In the labor market, it’s a matter of who you know and not what you know. I think it’s better to acquire skills that will help you build a career for yourself.

There are tons of artists who do that, but people think that it's just based on art related stuff and not any other business. Like a painter could paint without getting any education, and for some reason people think that it's only available to painters, no you could get education on how to paint as well, but there are people who did it themselves. Or musicians, or writers, everyone imagines you could do it yourself, whereas education for all of that is available too.

It means you could become anything you want, as long as you can provide proof that you are good at it, you can educate yourself on anything. There are few exceptions like medical and law, but many other jobs are available for self-educated people as long as they are good.

In the real world that we have today, it is necessary to have money. To be honest, it's hard to acquire education without money to sustain our studies. Being educated is necessary but we can fulfill our studies easier if we have money. The reason why others lack enough education is because of poverty. Those who have money could attain a better quality of education because they could afford to study in expensive universities.
With money, we can get the typenof education that we want and both will just work together in the future.

Yes, with money everything is almost possible, even happiness as money makes you happy if you achieve your dreams in life with the help of money. But I also believe that with money, formal education is possible as even public schools these days are also requiring students to pay for some requirements so that they can allow to go to school. However, being educated people do not guarantee success in life and make a good earnings. But being educated will open to a vast of opportunities that will pave way so one can be successful in his own career and make a good earnings from his job.

I would say that money is really powerful these days but here in my country, those who are considered rich and are living in comfort and luxury are mostly highly educated people and have higher positions in the government and have bigger businesses in the country. So having a good education with also developed skills and strategies in life have still an edge over those uneducated people. Although I would not say all since some are born without even attending schools, but it’s rare to see people here living life comfortably just because of pure skills and life strategies and experiences.

I can only agree with what you have said, there is nothing to argue against. But I was referring to this downward spiral that when education becomes more expensive, you take on more debt, which in turn now again becomes more expensive due to rising interest rates, you almost have no choice but demand a higher salary than a couple of years ago. If now the average wage level does not nearly approach inflation levels, the whole situation is doomed to collapse at some point.

What you describe is true and it is a frightening scenario for those who invested half a decade of their lifetime and took on massive debt just to now find out that the job they could assume does not pay a salary high enough to cover their basic expenses.

Switzerland handles that well as non-academic jobs are also well paid and they handle inflation reasonably well. Since non-academic wage levels are very decent, there is always a viable alternative for people who feel academics is not for them but they still want to live a good life. Still though, even if the number of academics increases in Switzerland, they have the gigantic financial service sector seeking talent 24/7/365.

It is a relevant and interesting topic and there is never just the one right way. When people ask you for advice there are many things you can't know in advance. Luck is important as well as you might meet the right person at the right time with the right idea and the will to cooperate with you. You go for the entrepreneurial way, never get a degree and can surely say it was the right choice.

I think Bitcoin is also a great example. It has made many people a millionaire that never expected in 2008 to become a millionaire within 5 years or whatever. Alt coins made many people rich back at the time as well. Who knows how many people dropped out from university after making a fortune with their feeling that this industry is going to be mooning soon.

Opportunities are the variable that you can't perfectly know in advance but that will eventually define your way of life.

What happened in your country is no different in mine, one might even say that it has become a phenomenon in many countries, but in my opinion these two things are very closely related and interrelated in supporting both things, why is that? because it is clear that if we have money, of course we can have a higher education and in my opinion, without education, management in money management will be problematic and it is not uncommon for us to be deceived and lose money just because we do not have education, indeed with money life will be easy but without education of course the future will be dark, even if there are people who are not educated but have a lot of money maybe it's just an inheritance.

Since Nigeria has been dubbed one of the countries where Crypto & Bitcoin Heaven is, the majority of Bitcoin users in Nigeria have exceeded 32% above the average of other developing countries, all of this is inseparable from the current education system in Nigeria.

I think what you say is contradictory about education and unemployment, you can't just look at the life of your environment, you have to look far away.

You need to review more about causes, effects and solutions Unemployment is one of the most severe social problems facing Nigeria today., that's the main cause.

If you care about solutions and ways to overcome unemployment in Nigeria, you need to do something like below.

Remember: the current population of Nigeria, who have been successful in terms of the economy and the introduction of Crypto to them, cannot be separated from the education they have studied at this time.

All you said is true I noticed something from the Chinese people they always focus on a particular skill and they are doing very well in that skill, even better than does with a degree like in my country when it comes to the construction of roads and bridges most of these construction companies prefer to give Chinese people the job when it comes to experience they have it, and this are people with no education at all, despite that education is still important but the most important is money because you also need money to get educated and you go to school because of money.
