If being a graduate is the key to being wealthy, why are there poor graduates?

as you said, education is an important thing, because by having a good enough education a person can have a good opportunity to develop their life for the better in the future. but even so, people who graduate do not necessarily have a better job or life than people who don't graduate, because graduating is just one of many paths to success. and because of this, not everyone who graduates can have a good job, there are also those who are still unemployed, but there are also those who don't have an educational background but have a good business or job because of their skills.

because there are many paths to becoming rich, and becoming a graduate is only one of them and it is not a guarantee.

No skill can be acquired by just reading books and getting a degree and without skills it is foolish to think of getting rich in life.  If you want to run a business you need skills, job skills that you can never get by reading books.  However, it is possible to get a good result by memorizing knowledge by reading books, but it is not easy to be successful using it in real life.  Those who chase degrees only to get a good result can never become rich. those who run for skill should be rich they became rich

I would say that everything depends from the person. There are many students who study in universities only to get a diploma in the end, and there are those who study to get knowledge. These two students are completely different when they graduate. Among Russians there are popular jokes, that every McDonalds or fastfood employee has MBA diploma, or students graduate only to get diploma and use it as cutting board or to swing with it to heat up coals when cooking meat on open fire. Diploma, without experience is nothing.

Education is crucial, but its no longer a guarantee. We produce graduates who assume their degree guarantees a high-paying ideal job. It doesnt. The world has evolved, but we're following outdated rules. Future economies are beasts that dont care about nice paper. It wants to see if you can hustle, adapt, and handle money in this unpredictable economy. You need creativity and risk-taking

Unfortunately, we're stuck in the past and think a degree makes you successful. Like buying the wrong lottery ticket in hopes of winning large. We must go beyond tradition and teach financial smarts, market movements, and building your own thing. Do college courses teach that? The hell no. These skills provide people a fighting chance in this changing environment. We must change education or risk generations of failure. Lets give them modern tools, not old ones

In my country, their is a saying that goes like this; you must not go to school to be successful, but you have to go to school to be enlightened, education doesn't necessarily guarantee success, but it mostly enlightened you for you to be able to see things differently, but for you to be successful, you have to be able to solves people problem, by rendering service to people in what ever form.

As for me I don't see schooling as a means of being successful, I just sees it as part of the process, that enlightens you, and gives you the ability to have a clear picture of life, but as an individual, you have to have that ability to think out of the box which will definitely make a difference in your life.

I don't know why majority people think that being educated guarantee us to become rich, education is very important in our life, it give us more knowledge and greater understanding about everything. When someone is being educated, they look different among the other people. I don't know your country but that is wise word. In my country, if you ask some young people about school, the answer you will get is that; many graduated students are out there searching for a job, and they are yet to find one, so it is wasting of time being in school because everything about school is money, they don't know that is for our own good. I've strong believe that education will give us a better life in the future, because many individuals who choose not to attend school will reject over their actions.

People say that Being a graduate is the key to being a slave and I kind of understand the point because every graduate goes out to find a job and when they find the job, they are so excited and begin their 9 to 5, and could work the job for years and still not have so much money in savings. If you think about the wealthy people in the world today, they didn’t get there by being a graduate. Being a graduate can lead you to wealth but it isn’t often the case from what I know.

While I won't say what you said is wrong,due to the economic statistics now being a graduated those not matter, because with your degree you won't find a suitable job to sustain yourself and your families,but I don't know why majority of we humans like 90% of us thinks being a graduate you can archive all your goals and become what ever you wanna become in life but the country will leave now isn't about degrees, there are a lot of graduate out there without a Job, rummy around the Street seeking for a job even Worthy 40k a monthly buh is hard to get I feel so heartbroken writing this but I pray our leaders seek to our graduate brothers and sisters out there.

Finishing your studies is not the key to achieving success in life. It is just the first step that you need to build yourself and help you prepare for the obstacles that may come to your life. It's one of the weapons you can use to fight with the reality in life. Now, once you graduate, it is up to you how you can nourish the things you have learned to improve yourself and become a better person who can bring you success and wealth. Some still fail even after achieving and learning a lot in life, but the key to managing on continuing the journey to be successful and wealthy is to never give up and continue to try again.

It is true, by obtaining a bachelor's degree at college, no one dares to guarantee success. because I think school results give us an understanding of the thought process, The thought process is what actually makes us successful. We must not be satisfied with what we get at school, forming personal character by continuing to learn and improve skills, something new I think we should do, If we don't want to sharpen ourselves with something new, it's like paper that is useless or your diploma will be wasted.

You make a good point. But I am rather coming from a perspective of finding the job but you may still not have enough left when you’re done with expenses and all you need to cater for. I won’t entirely say that the degree won’t find a suitable job because it depends on what niche you are in. For example people in the health sector need the degree a lot. What I mean is that you can’t be a doctor without a degree, same as some other niches too. And unlike programmers who may not need the school degree.

Being a graduate can create way for you to be wealthy in future but it cannot guarantee you, that you will be wealthy which are some of the  things graduates you see in the streets looking for what to eat and wear in the town because they failed to use their certificate to create way to become a wealthy person.

One thing i know,  it will surely happen to a graduate no matter what he or she is passing through in the community, don't give up because a time will come when you will use your certificate to become a wealthy man or woman that will make people to celebrate you.

 Faith without work is dead according to the holy Bible, being a graduate without going out to search for a job, you will not become a wealthy man because you need to look for your field to start earning money that will change your story.

Well it's not basically about being educated or graduating with the best grades that makes you wealthy, it's about determination, being consistent and also persistent cause success and wealth are not achieved in one day or immediately after graduating. In as much as you have good grades, you must still improve your skills, not only job skills, marketing or management skills but your critical thinking and problem solving skills.

Being a graduate is not the key to being wealthy,yeah that's right but also the value of education should be neglected.We know that not all the graduates that came out 1st class are working in an organization/firm that offers them good pay,some even with their qualifications are still wandering and looking for a job like a fugitive.It doesn't matter if your a graduate,the power of acquiring wealth is in your hands if only you are determined and focused.Those wealthy people at the top became rich because they chased their dreams and achieved it.
