Hey guys do you feel that education is necessary to suceed in life. Is it so necessary ? I don't think so. But then why is that everybody stresses so much on that. If someone got success through it does'nt mean that we should also follow him. Everybody has got a gift . If they realize it then they can make history. There are many people who never went to any buisness school but they are billioners now. What do you say ? Am i right?

Now I want to ask you what is the meaning of being success for you? From what I seen here, success means you would make lots of money, right? So if you want to make lots of money, you don't need education, you need to work to earn money.
People see success in different way. For a housewife, success is when you can raise your children in a good way, send them in good school, and make the house neat so that everyone in the house happy. Success for a father is to see his daughter get married with someone good and give a good life to his family.
Success for a goalkeeper is to keep the goal so that no ball would pass. Success for a coach is to make the team solid and to be able to achieve the first rank in the end of the season. For a student, success is getting a good grade and pass the education.
Since the meaning of success itself hasn't been determined, I don't think success can be the good parameter to see whether education is important or not for someone's life.
Education itself is really important. If you believe in chain reaction a.k.a cause and effect theory, you would see that basic education would not only taught you mathematics or biology. It would teach you the hard work, discipline, social life, and also life determination. It would teach you humility, respect and also how to deal with assignments. And there would be more if you ask me more LOL
I believe that it would be necessary for life :)
So yes, for me it is important for someone to have an education.

See, i am not talking about the basic education here. What i am talking about is that is it necessasy to have a high qualified degree to make money. I have seen people saying that they have wasted 22years oe their life in education and instead of it they would have their time in their field of interest then they would have been more successful.

Then the question is clear now. I still see education as something important. Some people make big money by being entrepreneur, but some other make bigger money by selling their brain. I mean their idea.
Scholar people learned so much that the non-scholar people didn't that's why non scholar always need the scholar to make things happened. I believe that there are many people out there using their degree to earn money.
Some felt that education is a waste because they were not outstanding. The outstanding student hired even before they graduate. My friend got hired in an international company before she graduated from school. How was that? I mean, she was brilliant, her GPA is almost perfect. For some people who is in the average line see the education useless because they can't get the opportunity like the brilliant ones got. But instead of blaming the education, they should be able to think different way. If they can't be the over achiever in the education, they should be more creative on how to make an opportunity.
