Most of us value education so much. We make it as one of our top concerns. But why do we so much care about education? Can education really help us become what we want to be? We know for a fact that some of the riches people in the world have not finished a degree and yet we admire them. So perhaps we can ask, why should i care to finish my degree when in fact i can be rich without this degree? Why should i spend sleepless nights studying and complying course requirements when some people have reached their dreams without going through the rigorous college life? But for me education is still important. But I always believe that to have a degree is not a guarantee that you will reach your dreams, aspirations in life. It can only be possible throughn hardwork, perseverance, and focus.... How about you? Is education still necessary?

I don't think it is totally necessary, but it also depends on your path for your life.
There are successful people who never went to college, sure. I don't deny it, and a lot of people can still be successful without going to college. For others, college is a very important part of life. I studied journalism in college, but realized that people were getting jobs being 'bloggers' with no training and doing what I was studying. But getting my teaching credentials and my Master's for history, to teach one day, is something that I could not do without school. It's not necessary, it's for some, not for others. Stay your own path, right?
