Is education the key to success?

Yes, I think education is very important. Maybe some people will end at self business like agriculture or special craft which doesn't concern too much with education. Still education is very important since it saves youth's time.

Yes it is true that ones' college degree is a way of reaping ones' goal in life making a nice job out of the education you earned as long as it is invested intelligently and wisely,enough to say that it is a gauge of ones' ability if someone has the capacity or not,the character to run a team or becomes a manager out of ones' qualification, as result of an earned degree perhaps if one is only determined with ones' studies there is really no possibilities of being unsuccessful in ones chosen field I am pretty sure many out there would amend or agree with me for such a statement.So it is obviously good to send your children to a better school in order to build and mend ones' future in such a way making them an educated person on the other way around we could also say why there are people who weren't able to finish a degree but somehow seems successful in life suffice to say others are destined also to be at ease with life financially speaking nevertheless no matter whether you attain something out of your fruitful effort of studying it is the virtue that you have for self and ones' respect to the society that you are belonging plays a part in making a person successful in any chosen field.

Yes, but for street smarts and school drop outs, I believe that in one way or another they had some form of education, be it grammar school or in-home tutorials that they are able to count, read and write. I think perseverance and the willingness to learn or to be trained usually gives ordinary people success. And even if you are just a decent blue-collar job worker, and is happy with what you are doing, then I guess you can call yourself successful.

I don't think education is thekey. I am an adult person already and i have no knolwedge of financing myself. My mother told me to look into traffic exchange programs and to read ebooks if I want to get rich. she si right ,sometimes it happens but not for long.

I will say YES education is the key to success, although we say very easily that my education is not applicable to my practical field. when we say this we are referring to the professional or specific education, why we forget that It is the education through which we came to know how to use the computer, how to communicate with people, how to read and wright and so on, we forget to realize that because of this we do things in a better way to achieve the goals we are running after. On other hand education is not restricted to schools, colleges or universities, without going to these institutions you gain education through practical life also, education is the process of learning, and we learn something new everyday

I wouldn't say it is the key to success. But it does help. It can open more doors for you, but education alone isn't enough. You need an actual hands-on experience. As many others have said you need street smarts to survive and move on. Book smarts help, but in the real world, it is really a matter of street smarts.

Not really although it helps. Most successful person in our town are not educated, they own big businesses. You see, success is all about the guts you have and being fearless in facing challenges. Always have an open mind, don't be afraid to try things even if there is failure, always think positive, be resourceful, use your initiative and I think being successful won't be that hard even if you are not educated.

Yes i agree with you education is the key to success but nowadays education is not the only key to success you need to be a street smart , you need a great strategy , be resourceful. Because many children now specially teenagers have no money to go to school so they ended up working in their childhood age so they can help their parents because they are poor , so if you can get finish your studies you will work early because of lack o money . Thats the logic of the poor people . So being street wise and making a good strategy is the key to live in this world or to be successful not only education.

Getting an education brings once to be a intelligent. They could think better and better to make a different. Someone that educated could be a good thinker, at the same time they just can be a good leader too. Education can change anything, include the current position.

I wouldn't see it as a key, so much as an avenue, one of several possible avenues you can take to success. It might not lead much of anywhere. But if you apply yourself, it can add a lot to a resume and make your chances of success greater. That being said, in an ideal world the only people who would go to college are people who want to learn more in an academic field. I don't think it should be a per-requisite for all the jobs that it is, at least in my area. My English major doesn't help much in the jobs I've had, but I probably wouldn't have gotten them without it. C'est la vie.
