Is education important ?

[BitMaxz]

formal education in my opinion is the basic education of all things that exist for the future,
there is no formal education then whatever work we do will not have an income that is commensurate with those who have formal education,
even if you are an entrepreneur you still need basic formal education such as, kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school and high school

Your opinion isn’t wrong at all. Formal education is indeed the basic knowledge required for every one, in order to help them navigate other areas of their lives effectively. But the reason it looks like this formal education is being overrated or over exaggerated is simply because some people base their lives on this formal education and fail to focus on other things that matters more than having a formal education, such as skills and other things. That’s why we see some people who actually have a good education end up failing in their careers even with all the education they’ve acquired.

You are right, skills and abilities in working are the main key, what is the point of higher education if you don't have skills, because basically all jobs rely on practice, not theory, people who are good at theory are not necessarily able to work in the field,

Not only that, most of the companies accept only people with a diploma or certificate that they finish their education; without them, you can't apply to any jobs that they locally offer.

Having a skill is different if you are going abroad; you still need to get a vocational certificate before you go abroad, even if you are a skilled person. So study is very important with or without skill, and a person who finishes his/her profession can easily get a job than just a skill unless you use your skill in your own business.

Education is Very important in real life. Every sector in human life education is very important. No one can't successful in life without education. For service, business, communicate everywhere education need. Without education no one can't success. So education is very important.

I just look at most rich people I come accross doesn't hold college degrees so how can you justify it necessary for someone to succeed. Education is important but it doesn't guarantee anymore even a job due to the abundance of unemployment college grads no matter what country we look at, the companies are hiring employees for their skills not education.

It's not about degree per se but getting education to learn languages, to learn to read/write and to do basic maths are important things in life and not just to get job. Once these basics are learned, it's upto person whether to pursue studies further or not.

Exactly, school education is important to learn the basics as well as to develop the social skills but pursuing a degree needs money as well as time but even if we complete the degree there are thousands of others are in the queue to get a job that we are applying for and in the case the individual must have skills regarding the job we apply for to be picked.

Well it’s quite unfortunate that a lot of people do not see it that way mate, they see it that they need to go to university or college, get a degree with good grades that’ll land them in a great job, no very much people actually look at the skills aspect and how to develop them. Some People fail to understand that if those skills are well developed and focused on, no one needs to go depend on someone else to be hired because your skills also have the potential of make an honest income.

Education is important. You can educate yourself which is the most important part of education- self education.

I don't know, what is certain is that currently if you want to apply to a private or government company in my country, there must be an insider and that is the power to be able to enter the work, it is useless to have a higher education if you don't have relatives in the company / that we are applying to (sorry, this is the situation in my country)

Well you can’t say that it’s completely useless to acquire a degree or the skills and requirements for the job, because regardless of who you referee is, I believe no company would like to hire a person without the qualifications or skills required for the job. Even if you’re not perfect for the job, at least you’ll be required to have somewhat level of experience or expertise in that field. Right?

Education is definitely very important. It's either formal or informal and most especially self education is also important. You need to get educated to get educated to be able to communicate and interact positively with fellow humans

Actually there are still people who havent been able to touch up school or being educated but still they can be able to community and interact positively with humans but of course as much as possible that you do really need up to go into school or having that education because we do know that proper etiquette and value or behavior is something that could be taught too on which this will really be that significant in your life because having none of these things will really be that a big issue or could potentially be able to create problems. This is why its important that you do really know at least on how to make out such learning not only limited on behavior but also in different key areas on which this will really be helpful on hovering yourself on living into this world.

What you said is actually true ooo my brother, I don't know which country you're from, But what you said also applies to my country too. In my country having connections and knowing the right people is the key to securing a better job. Regardless of how impressive your qualifications are they are often considered because of the person that you know, a person that has O level certificate will get a job with ease, due to their connections, while a highly educated person with a diploma, master's, or even a Ph.D. may find it difficult to secure a better job.

this life no balance at all. There is injustice in this world. that is why some people find education as a waste of time and the money, because even at the end some could not secure a better job. Money and connection has undervalued academic achievements. That's why a lot of people have begun to question the worth of education and they are feeling that education no longer guarantee success.

It is very sad indeed, if I see conditions like this, especially if you have a maximum age qualification in applying for a job, sometimes I can't believe there is a maximum age limit for applicants, at least if they are still productive, there is no problem being accepted to work, sometimes I envy countries that employ people without looking at age limits, they prioritize their skills and productivity in their total work

I think it is necessary and the most important thing is that after studying we understand where with good understanding we will be able to put something in its place. for example, even if we are smart and already have a lot of academic degrees, we cannot distinguish and adjust our speaking level to the person we are talking to, right? That is the same as those who are not yet educated.

That is the importance of ethics when they really have an education and only then are they said to be highly educated.

Education is key and fundamental to any society as it is education that brings forms the basis of development because development is brought up as a thinking thought in the mind of individual in any society so if the individual in a society is not well equipped educationally it will be difficult for such society to grow so education is something that should be prioritize in any country that is why many countries of the world that is serious and their future invest into the future of their citizens by way of providing quality and free education to her citizens

I don't completely agree on your thought about education, that someone can't be successful without it. That's a big fallacy because I have read stories of how the successful people we know on earth, made in life without college degree. Not every businesses requires a formal education to grow. There are businesses that requires a form of skills to be successful in it. That's what makes them to excel

I don't know the country that you comes from but it's everywhere that this kind of things happened. Some countries that don't tolerate corruption, they call that kind of opportunities as networking. Having someone you know at higher level makes it easy to get something in that office especially job for another person that you know and if they have their role.

However, the places where this is abuse is when you see someone want to use their influence to get something by force or even use either money or their political power to influence something, this happen most of the time in places where corruption has eating dip and no thing is done about it.
