Can Educated People Always Be A Good Leader/Model? What's Your Opinion?

I think education helps but I don't think it's a guarantee for a better life/person. I have a high school education from a large public school which pushed more for athletics than education. I started working when I was 16 and have been working ever since. I've learned a lot and I'm very skilled. I would consider myself educated. Maybe not by books, teachers, and classrooms, but educated with work experience and life experience. I never did well in school and I always had a hard time getting things. Why? Because I don't learn that way. I have to do it to understand it. Reading a book or listen to someone lecture simply goes in one ear and out the other. I do think that education is important and I hope that my kids decide that they want to go to college when they graduate high school. But I think all people are different. Plus I think it makes a difference in what you want to do for a career.

A formal education doesn't garauntee anything at all! I have met plenty of people studying to be teachers and cheated their way through classes. I have actually had somone try to pay me to write a paper for them! It really doesn't garuantee honesty or integrity!

I think you need so much more than a good education to be a good leader. While it is good to be knowledgeable, you also need to be empathetic, charismatic, and a role model. They don't usually teach classes on those things at school, so you either need to be born with those characteristics, or learn them from your peers. I also think that it is not necessary to have a good education to be a leader or model. There are plenty of professional athletes, business owners etc that never even went to college. They just found something they were good at and made the best of it and are willing to share that with others.
