Both are important, but in our current way of living right now, money is advisable to achieve.
First of all, you necessarily don't need education in order to earn money. You just need skills that will help you earn money. Look at some of the businessmen right now. Some of the didn't finish their education at all. What they have are skills and experience, and look at them now. They are already a successful businessman.

Well, I will not blame those oldies that they also fed me this kind of thing where "you need to graduate in order to have a job" mindset is what's on their mind. That's what I think as well when I'm studying, but when I finished studying, I just realized that education isn't necessary in order for you to be a successful man. I'm not saying that you don't need to finish your education, but finishing it or not, you can still have a chance to be successful in life.

Nigeria, eh?

Currently, your country is suffering because of a corrupted government. What will I suggest to you is that, if you can leave Nigeria, and study then go. I've seen some people who studied outside their country and become successful after years of hard work. Yes I said that education isn't necessary right now, but I'm not saying that you don't need to do it especially if you really need it. If you can study outside your country then go. After studying, get some experiences that will help you in your future.

I think it depends on where you look at this. Money and education cannot be brought together in one circle even though they are all related. Money is not power in my opinion, in a basic view, when we have money we can hire other people to do what we want, that is a common thing that we can see and witness in our daily lives, but if education is zero, even people who have money will run out of money because they don't can manage the money he has and that is the importance of education, besides being able to understand management we can also see implicit and explicit opportunities because we have understanding.
Not only in your country, in my country there are many people who have higher education but are unemployed or do not have a job or business, maybe the person you are referring to is not serious about his education or the education he receives is below average, we must also pay attention to accreditation a school or university as a measure of how effective teaching and learning is and how it influences mindsets and abilities upon graduation.

I'll use the word "money" because many of us made the decision to complete our education and go to school in order to find employment and earn money. Many people in the past didn't finish high school, but they were successful traders who live comfortable life. But all I know for sure is that in this advanced technological state we are in right now, knowledge is essential to carrying out your plans, and without education, it will be challenging for us to execute our plans to reach a particular level, so both must be accomplished.
In addition to ensuring your financial security, education can also enlighten you in a variety of ways. Your level of thinking will be higher than that of people with less education. I think that if a lot of educated people had money to start their own businesses with their level of education, they could have done better than those who are not educated but have the money in term of business advancement.

Education is more important, if you are uneducated, then you are inexperienced, and no one will want to hire an uneducated person to work for them. You are living in a country without a good education, so you lose faith in education, but don't forget developed countries like the US and Europe, they have a world class education system and the leaders are from there.

I have always preferred science to money, but through the experience of reality that I lived here in my country and in many similar countries, education is worth nothing.

Thousands of educated young people with higher degrees in medicine, engineering, etc. are unemployed, while uneducated (or less educated) artisans have thriving businesses and some are rich.

So I discovered the equation in such countries that do not respect education. You have to teach your children jobs to earn money through in addition to school or university education. I make them pursue education not in order to get a job, but in order to build their personality and develop their knowledge and skills.

Society really changed nowadays since money mean everything and all people can do all we can imagine just for the sake of earning money on either clean or dirty ways. We see our society has been changed a lot and you get respected depends on your financial status.

We still need to choose education over money even if we earn a lot of money since we can use this anywhere and no people will take advantage with us if we are knowledgeable on many things.

Of course money is king, if you ask random people on the streets to choose between money and education they would all choose the money. Once you have the money you can always educate yourself again, or just hire a smart person that does everything for you. Money is what drives the world, not education. There are many things you could study and will not find a well paying job afterwards. That's why sating educate yourself first and then the money will follow is not always true. The main question is of course how do we get our hands on money. The usual way is to find a good paying job, but for that we need an education first. So we can't really choose between the one or the other, we need both. Just make sure that you study something important that companies actually are looking for.

I disagree, today money can buy everything, what can't be bought with money, it will be bought with a lot of money. Our society has changed, not as good as before, where money is not everything. But between education and money, we should prioritize education because education not only helps us get a job that makes money, but it will help us have more opportunities in life than an uneducated person. In my opinion, education is still the root of all good things in this world.

Those two are equally important. And the importance of each of them cannot be removed. The only problem is that Americans in poor countries have been taught that if you study you can achieve your dreams, that's the problem, that's why the mindset of most graduates is to work or live in another country.

       Most of the graduates did not think that most of the rich are not employees but business owners and hire those whose mindset is to be an employee who will earn dollars or whatever currency that is, that is what the influence of money brings...

In my opinion, education is learning knowledge, education is not necessarily going to school to be called education. You can study anywhere as long as you have the knowledge, without knowledge, you will never do anything. I wonder, without knowledge, how you would do business, who would hire you to work for them? I have a nephew, he studied well and got a job right out of school, while his friend still doesn't have a job. In this case, should we blame the education system or ourselves?

Thinking you can't succeed because you don't go to school is fundamentally wrong. Because there are also many people who are successful without going to higher education at this time. But in essence, the school is still very much needed by children at an early age so that they can read and count better so that when they start working to make money elsewhere, they are not easily deceived by many people.

So everyone also shouldn't think that school is a bad thing because whatever the reason, school will still be important for those who are still very new to all fields of science. Because without basic knowledge, everyone also cannot get a job that is more suitable for themselves at this time, unless they are always willing to become coolies or unskilled laborers in life.

Traditional education shouldn't be necessary by now. You can learn a skill and build yourself from the ground up. It's a lot more economical and beneficial for you to just take up something that not a lot of people are taking right now (e.g. physically intensive jobs like machinist, carpenter, woodworker etc.) and rack up the $ because there's practically no competition and just a lot of demand. Once you finish high school, it's better to start learning a skills then you should be good for your professional career - at least that's what I've noticed and observed in a lot of countries nowadays.

Education is losing value right now, especially in Nigeria where it has little value, where graduates are wandering the streets looking for jobs, and where a large number of people are still enrolling. I believe we need to diversify into other areas, such as learning a skill or entrepreneurship, as people here have the mentality that you can't succeed or make it if you don't go to school, which is a very bad mentality.

I really don't want to be romantic about this, but money doesn't solve every problem and there are things money can't buy. Also, an educated person can better see the opportunities around him and make better use of them. I think education should always be our first option, whether we have the money or not. Money is partly related to destiny, partly to our own efforts. I hope we all have a good fate, but we should always give more importance to education...

Education is the bed rock to social cohesion, when you are educated it makes you to know how to interact with people education is also a key to success for instance when you go to school and study medical and became a professional medical doctor,it gives you opportunity to have a good job  get rich after some time,while to make money is by your wisdom, knowledge,ability or zeal over something good that can generate that money for you example,1 if you are into clothing business and you understand it very well with that you can make money 2 agricultural production that is also a bumming business that people make a lots of money either through bird's or fishing, farming etc even online people make so much money when you are introduce to the right online business.

Education doesn't come only from institutions, it comes from the experiences everyone attains, I agree some institutions make a business of this thing called education but the fact is even outside these institutions, education can be attained.  As one of the meanings of education...   


Precisely!


You need to learn something in order to earn money, education is still crucial here, may it be garbage collecting or being a president. Even product selling needs knowledge, and knowledge came from experience that educates us.

You could always have these possibilities when you are educated or on having a degree;

1. You have chances on getting some day job
2. You do have knowledge acquired
3. You do have chance of promotions
4. Proud on having a educational degree or somewhat do talks about pride and ego.

You could really make money at the same time you are educated.It is really just a matter of on how you would
make things that able to handle it out.You could also make money even you arent educated but its better to be having that kind of advantage
rather than on having not.

You can be educated and have money at the same time. During these days where others may say that skills are more important than education, having a degree will always be an advantage. We can always have pride that we can carry everywhere and we can easily grab more opportunities since we have the title. Education is something that no one could steal from us so as for me, it's important and so is money. We can have both at the same time but things will depend on how we handle and deal with the challenges of being educated while finding ways to earn.

Yes, both are needed because how can we go to school if we don't have a money? Governments are offering free education or scholarships but there are still things which they aren't covered like for example when there are school projects. We are the ones that will supply money for this.

We also need money for commuting and to the food/snacks that we eat. A basic education might only be needed and the advanced one is only optional because like for example in your country, many graduates are still unemployed but if we noticed, there are more undergrads who have a job and are earning better than them. It wasn't the diploma but it's about how you hustle.

Money and education are both important for success, and both have their advantages and disadvantages. Education can provide you with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in your chosen field, and money can provide you with the resources to achieve your goals.

It's important to have both money and education in order to achieve success. You can use your education to gain knowledge and skills, and then use your money to put those skills into action. Education can open doors and give you the opportunity to pursue your dreams, and money can give you the resources you need to make those dreams a reality.
