Education

[Okeowo]

Education is not the only key to success anymore, then we all be believe that, if we don't go to school, we can't make it, the country is something else, we should find all means to be a successful person in life, education is good, but we have to find all means to make it, country which a graduate is riding bike, someone that spend thousands of naira to go to the school, is now riding bike, imagine,

So is always good to invest in once self, than working under someone, which you won't have time for yourself,

Just an advise

First of all, I must say that you're mistaken school with education while they're both different. Well, we are not getting educated to work for someone but to discover ourselves and our talents. You can not run a successful investment if you're less educated. Mind you, you don't necessarily need to attend school in order to be educated or successful. However, education is still the key to success!

If you meant formal education specifically, then yes. There's so much free educational information online that it pretty much obsoletes a lot of college/university courses.

I say only get formal education past high-school if:

* You have trouble learning on your own, without a teacher/professor/instructor in-front of you
* If you want to be a doctor/engineer/architect or whatever path that requires passing board exams
* If you want to socialize and meet people

Yes
I get your point, to educate ourselves, but many go to school, so they can be working in the office, have seen many

I mean, how else would you get education besides online and with books? Not good to be living life with literally zero sources of education.

I was mostly talking about college/university, not lower levels of formal education(pre-school, elementary grade, high-school).

Having an education would differ from the country where you are from. I'm not sure if it's just for some countries, that there's a bias towards those that have finished degrees and those that didn't. From what I've watched in first-world countries, many successful folks didn't finish college, and yet they're living the best of their lives with their careers. Future-wise, if you think that you'll be having a good life and career by finishing college and getting a degree do it. But if you think that success is already at hand and you can no longer wait to finish your studies, you choose your path just like the successful people like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates.

What does it mean 'to make it'? That's not such clear cut definition as that differs from a person to person. Someones 'making it' could involve education as the end goal of education is not necessaraly financial benefit, but rather the acumulation of knowlage. So education is important to those that think it gives something to them.

But do you think if you don't have proper education you will be successful? There's a lot of things you can learn on school and one of it is discipline and also on how to properly read also to write if you don't do this basic things for sure many people will exploit you because they think you are uneducated person.

So education is important but still it all vary to the person who do their job to enhance their life since at the end of the day if the educated person is lazy he cannot reach his want to be a successful person.

Show me a man that is not formally educated and I will show you his level of illiteracy. Yes education is important but not to the level to depend on education to be rich or that you have to be a professor to be educated. All that everyone needs is that kind of little education that can help you read and write and understand what is going on around up and open you up for opportunities. Being educated doesn't mean you need to spend all your live doing that but it is necessary, the illiterate rich find a way to have some level of formal education to be properly suited and contributory to the society.

Meanwhile I don't think this topic is best fit for this board.

I think the basic education everybody should have is the ability to read, write and solve simple mathematics. Anybody that can read can educate himself on any field or endeavor. But we must also note that there are some profession that requires formal education or certification. Therefore formal education cannot be pushed aside. The problem we have in Africa is that everybody wants to be a university graduate. The reason is that the government and private sector favors paper qualification than skills. Most job vacancies in my country requires a university degree. This has made even people that has no business going to the university to begin to seek and gain admission into the university. In the university they engage in all forms of malpractices and  corruption to get the certificate. When they graduate they become unemployable because most of them should have been entrepreneurs, technicians or artisans.

Education is good and Worth it but not in the African Countries like Nigeria. This days folks are after social media and are too lazed to pick up a book to read. But really, school and education ain't everything, bit also once you can assimilate mathematics, logic and physics, finance, accounting,and law,  I feel you're good too go. School really isn't everything, I look at the world Billionaires and how many finished university ? Lol.

Investing in oneself, investing in crypto ( Bitcoin ) understanding technology and becoming a builder are something's one needs in this era, because going to school with the aim of coming with good grades and end up being employed with folks you're far better than  intellectually. 

In Africa, before you learn about anything, go learn about your history before the white man came, to Africa and how it all was before slavery, you should know how strong you're and not feeling inferior of oneself. Out History this day are no longer taught in schools why ?

If you have gone to university completely, done the Nysc and back to the streets with a big file looking for a $20 dollar to be earned at the end of the month after being employed then you'll know school really sucks in some part of Africa. Ain't sexy mate!

One should really look for what he has passion for too chase, been successful takes time as one needs discipline and consistency in his/her field. But all this are just hard to bring in Nigeria and some African countries. Govt really making things hard, you have to leave this ends to achieve all of your passion and dreams and making them reality.

You will not be able to remove this one, because it is an economic balance. Don't just think that going through education is for knowledge, it includes establishing connections and relationships.
The measure of a person's success is relative. It doesn't matter who prefers to work under someone or create their own work, the fact is that many successful people achieve their dreams thanks to their job.

No matter how bad the country is,  education is still very important and also an utmost key to success,  it is actually better to be an educated person in a transport business,  than to be an illiterate.

Education prepares people are gets them set to grab opportunities when it shows,  an illiterate person that (maybe) discovered an opportunity  will still have to run to an educated person for help, thereby submitting him or her self to the mercy of the educated man /woman.

And mind you,  acquiring education does not necessarily mean going to school and spending several years there,  being educated in a simple term is submitting oneself to knowledge.

[Jawhead999]

Not all people like to become an entrepreneur even though they're the one who work for themselves and doesn't controlled by any person, but the thing is you need to have very high discipline and hard work, without both of it, you wouldn't successful.

The same like not all people like to work under someone, since they're feel stress as they got a low salary but they need to work for many hours.

Each person only image and want that they doesn't have at the moment, but when they already got it, they will think the previous job is better than the new one.

[virasisog]

Education is still a pathway to a brighter future. Being educated doesn't mean that you'll be rich and successful someday but rather you could embrace more opportunities easily because you're equipped with knowledge that is necessary to survive life. Yes, you can be successful in different ways without any title but having enough education is still an edge. It will be the best weapon that we could carry no matter what our choice of profession is. Being educated doesn't mean you'll do things perfectly but rather you'll be able to do things the right way.

[lumbanrang]

Well, it's true as you said education is not the only way to success, but it's become important for now. It is true that success can come from anywhere, for example in my place there is someone who only graduated from elementary school who can become a successful entrepreneur and there is another one who has finished his doctorate and is still unemployed. But even so, education is very important, now we can't just hold on to our ideals, we must be able to get the highest education, but if we can't take education, we should be able to take advantage of the various opportunities that exist in today's society and that way we can be successful.

School really isn't everything, I look at the world Billionaires and how many finished university ? Lol.

I made some point in my earlier contribution that your statement is giving more understanding and thought. Education has proofed to be important to the extent that those billionaires after getting to the apex of financial freedom, they also crave for another freedom that education give. They go to school to acquire either the education with certificate or to acquire formal knowledge apart from that they they had from their financial skills backed up with certificate. Therefore you hardly see a rich man without some level of formal education.

Just an advise

School does not primarily teach you how to become a successful boss, but it will teach you how to become a good employer. That's one sad reality of majority of the schools.
You can actually learn by your own. However, the difference is that you won't going to acquire any credentials for learning by your own. These credentials were needed to get a good and high paying jobs that could potentially get you a good start for your own business.
Employment nowadays doesn't base on actual skills but the credentials.

Just an advise

Education does not promise a person to be successful. You have misunderstood education. Education is just being smart people.Don't expect after you get a big degree from education and get a decent job from the state, because so many people have big degrees while the needs of the country are few. Of course you have to compete.
So what is the function of education?
You dare to talk about investing because you have an education. People who do not have education will not understand investment, let alone crypto investment which is full of risk of price fluctuations.
People who have higher education, they think about creating jobs, not looking for work.
Actually the right sentence is, a diploma does not prove someone is smart, but a diploma only proves someone has attended school.
