Hmm, I've just seen a thread on education, in proper context, it was about formal education and many people agreed with the OP that it's over-rated and many disagreed, TBH in this era, money is power and everything to everyone, and that's the fact, education is important but money comes first and in this era, money can be earned with skills only the formal education cant help you with that, In my opinion, you should take formal education but developing skills from the day should be your first priority.
