Do you believe that if a person graduated from college,he is more sufficient,reliable and smart than the one who didn't make it to college or haven't finished college education? For me,it's not always like that. Education really is important in one's life. But it's not always in school or through books that we learned everything that we need in life. I knew some who hasn't gone to college but are successful in their respective careers. I also knew some that are college degree holders but are now not doing anything in their lives nor making use of what they've learned. Sometimes,it's a matter of how you make use of your skills. What do you think?

I agree with you that not all people who graduated from college are more efficient and smarter. I know a lot of friends who goofed around during our college days but at present, they are managing a successful business in which they established on their own. While I have some friends who have the attained higher education but are just regular employees.

That's right that we do not learn all things in school. But as a teacher, I am encouraging my students to study hard because being educated is your stepping stone in reaching your goals. Education is a thing that you and your parents can be proud of. Not all are given a chance to study and having an education is a priceless.

Education is a right of everybody, yet it doesn't seem to be that way today, because it became a privilege for some now. But if there's an opportunity to have a formal education, one should cherish it make use well of it.

I agree with you completely. I think education can get you 'far' and secure in society but there are many intelligent people who do not need or who cannot get education. There are A LOT of people who are really stupid even if they have a masters. It is more likely that someone can get a good training in composition through education but that is not always the case.

One of the most treasured thing of every individual's life is Education. It is the most valuable thing in our life. Everyone should take this for us to be able to be informed, to be literate, to be wise and to be educated. Wherever you go, wherever you are, and if you have the education, you know how to speak English, you can survive. You can live freely whatever country you will be. Education can be the most powerful factor in life.

I agree that college education is not necessary for success in later life.No doubt professional degrees in engineerin or medicine is essential to be successful engineers or doctors.Degree is academic and theoritical while success in life is practicalHoever the only available method of evalution of profession skills at initial stage is only degree.Later they make it by experience.Many highy qualified people are failures in life.Therefore students should be made self confident parents and teacher should see over all development thanmake children bookworms.

I think education still counts. Yes they are a few people with no formal education who are successful but still the majority of successful people are well-schooled. Education is something that cannot be stolen, transfered or inherited. It's a done with a lot of hard work and will always be a good stuff to be proud of.
