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

[Dzwaafu11]

I think having a degree is just having one step ahead with someone who does not have. There are different factors to consider.

What are the factors to consider before we believe that someone who has a degree is just one step away from someone who doesn’t? How did you view these? Did you see them as something possible because, believe me, sincerely, someone who is educated and has a degree is far better than someone who does not have any. Even the skills and education he has is something to be considered. Furthermore, when it comes to applying for a job, someone who is a degree holder has a possibility of getting a job. What about those who do not have a degree? Believe me, they will not get such a job to even apply for it. 

i have noticed quite a lot of college graduates, even with the best grades, it is difficult to get a job, this is because the competition is getting tougher and also the lack of privileges those graduates have.  Job opportunities are like cakes, and graduates every year are like ants, just imagine how many cakes there must be to get all the ants, surely the distribution will never be fair.  It's not easy, but setting up your own business seems to be a good thing for the long term, this is a step that graduates can take.

Is it all about setting up your business? What about the money to start up the business? Although I know that as a graduate, it is not really easy to finish school and stay at home without getting another job, it is very painful after spending many years studying and graduating without getting a job. It will be useless. Although education is very important for our lives, getting a job after school is something we should consider, but our government doesn’t care whether graduates get jobs or not, which is unfair.

Education is one of the basic human subjects. Humanity develops through education. It is not true that everyone will become rich by passing the graduation level. Because to be rich, you or I have to go through a certain path, there must be the basic skills to be rich in the character traits. Again suppose all the people in this world have some things they like and they are good at it. However, in many countries, they do not get the opportunity to study the subjects required for university entrance exams. So they have to study subjects outside their choice where they may not have expertise. So their chances of success from there are very less.

Its never been that a guaranteed thing but just like been said that this would really be a solid foundation for you to have or build up that knowledge that you could gain when you do go to school on which
this is far more better in compared into those people who hadnt been able to touch up on going to school. Of course there would really be no guarantees that you would be wealthy even if you do
have finished college but somewhat you do really have that kind of advantage since you are really having that kind of awareness and knowledge on particular things.Plus when it comes to requirements or prerequisites then you do have that which its a plus or advantage.

When you do have plans on making some expansion when it comes or talks about business or investment then it would really be that depending into your own
choice whether you would really be exerting more effort or not.It would really be just that depending on you on how wise and hardworking and
patient you would be on facing up challenges.

[Dr.Osh]

well, wealth is not based on graduation. In fact, many people are still poor or do not find work after they graduate. What makes people rich is the ability they have and the hard work they put in. No matter how good a person's abilities are, and even how good his graduation is, if he is lazy, he will experience setbacks.
After all, graduation is only the foundation for developing the skills we have, and it is proof that we may be experts in a field. However, what makes everything run smoothly is how capable you are and how hard you work to achieve your goals.

[leonair]

First off, I must say that Education is very good and i don't dispute the fact that it's very vital and necessary for human development, it can put you in a position to be successful no doubt but being a graduate is not a 100% guarantee for one to be very wealthy, one can be very sound academically but lack some basic skills of acquiring wealth. Also one can still have some good knowledge of certain skills but if there's no zeal or self confidence in earning a living through it then your education on those skills can be said to be a waste since you ain't making effort to earn from it.

Educational certificate only increases our social and status Education certificate can never give us any good job.  Because you must have good skills to do good work  Without skill you can't do anything well. Because where you will work, they will take work from you in exchange of money, they will not pay you after seeing your certificate. So to do something good in life you must have skills.  Without skill you can do nothing.

[Peanutswar]

Not all graduates have the gained skills during their schools, so they are sometimes struggling how to market themselves, and to those graduates people still it depend not everyone has the same opportunity that's why the school are preparing us with the reality, once you graduate, and face the outside world you can now see how struggle it is this is how people getting strive to survive with their daily basis. If you have the knowledge, skills, and network its easy to you to make a good communication to market and make your own strategy to get out with the social status you have and reach to become a successful once.

[NotATether]

The number one reason is debt...

Now with credit card debt going crazy, we are seeing people with NEGATIVE balances on their accounts, because they are literally spending on a lifestyle they can't afford.

Of course that's going to keep you poor for the foreseeable future. Actually, if there was such a thing as "worse than poor", this would be it because at least poor people have some money.

[Bright0515]

By right being a graduate should have been a mega boost to success after spending so many precious years in school studying in the university it was suppose to help you be among the wealthiest depending on your field of study but education does not give money but knowledge then it is left for you as a learned person to apply the knowledge you have acquired in the area it is needed for you to be successful. Many graduates today don't apply their knowledge where it is needed though they may try but you can still try but not be successful why sometimes maybe that is not your field of knowledge.

Many successful business men and women today are not graduates why? U can be an illiterate and still become successful that is if you are perfect in what you do some graduates only don't have the skill but venture into it but with the knowledge they acquire they become perfect.

Education and a person's process of becoming rich actually have to be separated from each other because there are many people who have taken the educational path but still have not become rich even though they have acquired a lot of basic knowledge. So these things should not be combined but must be separated from each other because there are a lot of people who become rich from their own family even though they haven't taken much of an educational path in their life.

But I also will not ignore those who have become rich after taking more educational paths in this world because people like that are extraordinary people who have struggled from the ground up to become rich through the process of skills that they have acquired through a lot of education. And from most people who are successful in becoming rich, you can also see that they will eventually take a business path that will make their marketing wider and more developed due to the knowledge they can use to carry out this.

[bettercrypto]

Education is important, and it is just one of the achievements that people also need. Because this is one of the sources of knowledge that we can use in the future. Actually, the topic of education is very broad, because this is where our knowledge and strategy on how to survive in life begin. The more we know, the better. It is difficult that we only know so little.

Now why are there still more poor people, even though most of them have completed their education or have a diploma? That's because they don't use the things they learned in their studies. Even though Mark Zuckerburg dropped out, they were still successful in life, and what they learned while he was studying cannot be unrelated to the success he has now in his life. He became even smarter because he saw that his business would grow even more if he hired smart graduates for his company. Because he knows what is brought about by a person with knowledge or intelligence who has graduated.

A degree only shows that you have completed training in a subject. It's just a kind of entry ticket or door opener. Whether your degree was worthwhile in the end depends on whether you can apply what you have learned and add value to the company. Only then will a degree be worthwhile. I know some people who put a lot of effort into their studies, got a degree and then took it easy on the job. They were then fired and are now keeping their heads above water with freelance jobs. For them, studying wasn't worth it financially. If they had brought more of what they had learned into the company, they would be in a better position now.

It is true that not everyone who completes education can have skills according to their field of school and also those who have good grades at school may not necessarily be able to get a job after completing their education, so the theory they understand at school is not a benchmark that they will be able to have a job according to. their field, in order to survive it is important for us to be able to have skills that can give us income and look for relationships that can give us information to have a job because if we don't do anything then it is very unlikely that other people will offer us work.

[Tony116]

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.

Education gives you an advantage and makes you more likely to be rich and wealthy. There are poor graduates for many reasons like,
the system failing them, that is after school there was no good job available for them, some of them were not serious in school and because of their poor grades made themselves not eligible for good jobs. There are some poor graduates because education does not remove automatically financial indiscipline. Some graduates are poor because they have failed to keep money to build wealth when they had it.

Agreed with @Princess Leah, we have to ubderstand that Education or graduation does not make your wealth. Only certificate can't give you success, there must be full dedication to achieve something in life. Without this dedication no one can makes money in their life. We must be focused in our life so that we can do what we actually want to do in our life. If graduates people are not focused dedicated in their work-life then they must be poor. 3 thngs we need to make something happen speciall in our life skill, hardwork, and luck.

[SatoPrincess]

To be a graduate is not a guarantee for you to become a rich person, the only thing is that a a graduate have a be possible ways to solve a problem to also plan very well in order to elevate itself from getting poverty or being poor for life why someone who is not a graduate will not have the kind of idea someone who is a graduate how for a order to Plan a better way for its life, one thing I want us to understand is that this life is all about planning and also a God wish to us to be rich is based on your strategies, understand the dimensions of life and the application of life before you become a successful person

The only way to break out of poverty cycle is to provide a service or sell a product. School does not teach one how to become rich. Scholars aren’t particularly concerned about making money for themselves, they live for the passion of their chosen profession. Most times, students are so busy with their studies that they forget to socialize and build relationship with other students on campus. I think building a strong network in university helps a lot when you’re in the labour market and you need jobs or contracts.

Also with certificates, they're the same with diplomas. But what's good with having these is that you've got the way to start and have some credentials.

Although it is not the ideal thing for most employers as they have their way of picking up good employees based on their criteria. And about being successful, let's not invalidate the feelings of the people that have graduated. Studying also takes time and having to finish college is already part of their first success.

So if it's about success, you determine that with your own basis as they will determine theirs too and if it's about wealthy, it's a different thing. This is how we define each other's grit and how we cope with our strategies on our way to riches and becoming wealthy.

It is true that by providing services or selling products, of course this will be able to get us out of poverty, but we have to have products that are of good quality so that they can easily be sold on the market and for graduates of course they are thinking about their career so they can get their bachelor's degree. What's even better is that those who are busy thinking about their studies of course very rarely think about how to make money and this is very unfortunate when they finish their studies and will have difficulty finding work if they don't have a network to be able to get a job.

Yes, graduation is proof that you have studied there, but that doesn't mean you have extraordinary skills from that. That's why education and skills are really needed in a field. I have many friends who have graduated but did not have good abilities when they practiced the field they studied. Some people are only good at theory and memorization. However, it's pretty bad at doing its job. However, I believe that the most important thing that can make a person rich is the ability and knowledge he has.

 Also I've heard several people complain about having good grades, being 1st class graduates but find it difficult to secure good paying jobs, imagine someone struggling to achieve good grades in the university but find it difficult to earn a living and at the end settle for minor jobs while there are many dropouts with good skillsets as well as being creative and think outside the box, and are bosses of big organisations and companies.

 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.

I have heard from my parents then years ago when they were young, that if they studied well, then the government (it was communism during their time) would choose them, give them a good, high-paying job and they would also be appreciated in the society. They grew up with this mentality, if you want to achieve anything in life, you have to enter university or you'll be a physical labour forever but in reality, things are very different today. No one cares about your education if you can't market yourself. I had a mate in university who had all the A+ grades but she still works at McDonalds because she wasn't from a rich family and was a shy girl.
On another hand, there are many people who have never studied at school and university but earn six figures. Khaby Lame is a good example, he never studied at University but used the right moment at the right time and is earning much more than people who work 12 hour shifts a week and do the hardest jobs.

[GigaBit]

A man can be educated but can not assurance of his employment. In today's world, the number of people has increased tremendously, the number of educated people is not less. The number of graduates is constantly increasing but they are leading an unemployed life after completing their studies. The labor supply is not increasing at the rate at which educated unemployment is increasing. That is, educated people are not getting work due to lack of employment.

Another major reason is that there is a tendency among educated people that they are not willing to work if they cannot provide employment according to their expected level. There is no guarantee that a degree holder will always get a job at his level. But when a person gets this thought fixed in his mind, he can no longer work in other jobs.

To get rid of such a situation a person must undergo vocational education along with academic education. So that he is not unemployed at least. Government will never be able to provide employment to all their population according to demand but if everyone gets vocational education then surely they will not be unemployed.

No mate there are still a lot of people cares about your education since somehow there are people will look at this achievement  before they respect you. Also there's a lot of discrimination outside especially if you are not a college graduate. You can't get a high paying job and your position most likely hard to rise.  Maybe there are some undergraduate became so rich due to a lot of hustle they do in life. But people should remember that we have different faith and what became effective to other may not work to other people. That's why we or they need to graduate so they have a lot of choices in life.
