EDUCATION -- do we need it?

Well we can't deny that's it's important. However, personally, I don't think it's a necessity for all mankind. You can survive life even without education. Did you know that almost 80% of the richest men didn't finished college. The richest man in the world, which is Bill Gates, is a college drop-out. But look at him now!?!

Hi! That's a very good question. There are people who have the motivation to make a career for themselves without school, and then there are those who must have school to get them on their feet. Of course, I know a few motivated people who still had to go to school to get into the career field of their choice, but for the most part, it's cut and dry. My parents basically told me in high school that I would be directly going to college. I knew I didn't want to go and had nothing to go for, but they were paying for it since it was their idea, and I went. I went for two years and basically told them when I dropped out, "That is why I didn't want to go to college. My life was put on hold, and now you have less money." It was useless, much like high school was. I already had a growing real estate business that I had formed at fifteen, and college did nothing beneficial for me. It only diverted my attention from forming my career for two years. There are many people who say a college degree is a must. This is ridiculous. If I hadn't been motivated enough in my teens, I wouldn't be making as much money as I do now, and maybe college would have been beneficial. Not one person in my family has gone to college and graduated; yet my dad is extremely successful (he also works real estate) and makes well over six figures per year. There are some things you must go to college for. For example, I thought heavily into being an astrophysicist, which requires at least eight years of college. But then I'd be paying back student loans well into my thirties and forties, even with the high salary. College is hardly ever worth it. Certificate programs sometimes are. Motivation is ALWAYS beneficial.

Sadly, in this day and age, we need education. Unless you are one of those rare special people, you really cannot amount to much or get much without an education. Education is what makes most societies.

Why do people always think that education is only important to earn money? Education is much more than that. It is a must for society because without it, where would our society be? I know that there are lots of bad things caused by "educated people", such as pollution and all sorts of stuff, but we could fight these also with education. I think the reason why some educated people do bad things is because their education is incomplete. Education is continuous and should not stop when you already have a degree. Education is a lifetime process.

For myself its very important the education,because its the only thing that you can have for yourself, nobody can take it from you.Even years may past if your educated person it will not vanished from you.Its up to us on how we use what we studied!

YES offcorse we needed, i live in a country there is a quite number of unlettered people. It is very sad, that is like this people, today you must to know at least 2 language, good work on your computer and a good school, but in my country there is people they dont no any language unless their, and they dont to to work with the computer, and they dont have a high school. Its very sad....

I feel knowledge is very important in any ones life to get success. This could be possible by experience only. But our education gives the procedure to gain this knowledge in proper way and to serve the same successfully. Education gives us an idea on how to utilize our source of knowledge to improve in proper ways.. I am educated with Masters and doing job and running blogs and may things.. All have given wonderful experience to me.

I think we still need education because there are some others who are sucessful as a result of the education the had so we still need it

You need education, period. If you compare the number of successful persons based on their educational attainment chances are you'll find more successful people who had education that those who have not. As the saying goes "knowledge is power". Cheers!

I think education is important, but its not must in success, we all know that so many people get their glory achievement without high degree. wheather one success is not depend on their knowledge but also their experience. actually, everyone get knowledge not only in school or college but also from society and community real life. do you think so... have nice day

Of course we need education,maybe not necesarilly for us to abtain a very well paid job,but to have a knowledge.U want to find yourself talking to someone and not to have an answer or to not know how to say?I would like for my children to finish a good school,to go to college and even if they don't get hired on their domaine,to be smart and be able to talk anything with them.School is very needed,to obtain an education,beside the one u get from home,even if we have a lot of examples of people without any school,but with a lot of money..that is life!

Absolutely for me education is the best way to have more knowledge in my life.

Hi! Education is very important because it is the structures for our future. How can we have knowledge of something else if we don't educate ourself. Even though it is a different type of education but still we can get learnings on it, but i think not only education can help us for our future but also its a person's choice on how to find a way to get and have a nice future. The concept of it is EDUCATION ---- Learning(we can get idea and knowledge through education in any type), not only education in school that i am referring but in any type that we can describe Education.

I dont feel education is must because education is to educate people to survive , Experience is a best education, but Now days Education became compulsion for all to survive in this society better, So all should need some basic Education atleast till primary level...

Yes,we need it.Education is very important to both your personal and professional life, in a number of significant ways!Depending on the level of success you’re seeking to achieve, the level of education may be relative. English and language skills will help you to communicate your ideas more clearly. Communication skills are essential in any role – whether you’re dealing with co-workers, patients, customers, or supervisors, you will need to effectively convey your plans, ideas, goals, and such.Although calculators and computers are readily accessible, you still need to learn how to do basic computations and calculations on paper or in your head. If you are calculating dosages, counting surgical supplies, or tallying sales, math skills are imperative for a career, and for life. Cooking, shopping, driving, and many other everyday activities require math skills as well, regardless of your career choice.the word LEARN contains the word EARN? Perhaps that is because the higher level of education you achieve, the higher level of income you are likely to command as well. For example, consider the following health careers and the educational requirements as they relate to annual income

Depends totally on the infrastructure and opportunities that your countries offer. I must say that I am surprised at the way people in developed countries have so much options open to earn a decent pay without a proper education or any real skills. College education and further studies seems quite expensive there and just another option for a good-paying job. However, in India, though higher education is no less expensive, the opportunities are just not there. Jobs like cooks or shop assistants or petrol-pump attendants or truck drivers…etc would fetch you peanuts. We have no option to earn a good income if we are not minimum college graduates. Vocational institutes are there for people with less education but with skills and they just manage to earn enough for existence…not good pay at all. So for us, the better the education the brighter the chances are for a good paying job.

Dear friend, I hope education is must and it helps to go further. Moreover proper use of education for positive outcome is much better. Some get better without education but they are mostly good in practical work than theoretical knowledge. It is another talent of human to get well in life without education. But education helps one to be go better further up.

Interesting , thru out the years ive seen and heard all these stories of like the people with the crummiest jobs in the country which they started out with and now they make millions a year , from workin their way up the ladder , and knowing and bumping shoulders with important people , Networking simply , it amazes and yeah gets me mad , cause y even spend those years in college for 50 thousand or so a year when i could be making 50 million lol but Not one of em said it was easy , and im not a fool lol so yeah the education , its a must , but to me , for anyone i wudnt want them to just Do that particular job , get out there and see if u can become apart the Millionare club , you never kno , not even a million , make a couple hundred thousand , at the end of the day its about who has the most money

I think that getting an education is quite important. I left school with no qualifications whatsoever and I didn't get very far as a result. I do have regrets! However, I have been making amends now and I have been taking various IT courses and I have passed them all with flying colours and I'm so pleased with myself. Education isn't everything though, I think that persistance and determination also counts. If you are prepared to work hard and achieve something then there shouldn't really be anything stopping you but you! It's nice to have qualifications and so forth as they may help you to get an interview perhaps and then you can really start selling yourself. Andrew

education provide base to individual. it is the formost thing in human life. it gives values to individuals and make them self dependent. an educated human being can live with respect in society.
