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

[goldkingcoiner]

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.

 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.

What if we don't want to be wage slaves? What if studying a low value subject like marine psychologist (not the military kind) only dooms you to a NPC-normie future where you play video games after a hard day of wage slaving? If you study something that will help you manage and increase your money, then obviously you will have more money in your life. But you must sacrifice a life of healing dolphin traumas (or whatever your dream is).

Unless you invest in Bitcoin. Then you could maybe follow [insert life dream here] while increasing your money.

P.s: if you study physics, you learn magical life hacks. Basically Hogwarts. I recommend it.

You have speck nicely about education and having a good grade in school, but to be sincere, being a graduate doesn’t determine you to get wealthy; that is just the fact that all you need to be wealthy is knowledge, and even without going to the school, you can get your knowledge, although some think that being a graduate will make you to have a better life.
 
Yes, as a graduate, you can have a better life, but don’t forget that your life is just limited because you most likely go and get a job, and having a job defines you as a slave that is being paid because you will have to work so that they will pay you in some experience. They will say you are working for the money, and if you really want to be wealthy, you will make the money work for you, and the only way to make money work for you is by business, so that should mean that having a job doesn't determine you to be wealthy, but having a business. That is why I said that graduating with a higher grade makes you a slave. While having knowledge and business makes you a wealthy person. 

Not all businesses succeed, and then someone becomes rich. there are many examples around us. Likewise with those who are college graduates, many become successful but not a few are also poor. In my opinion, this is a very classic problem, everyone certainly wants success, and the path to get there does not have to be the same. If everyone is a business person or capital owner, then who is the worker, this is a situation that requires each other. It doesn't matter to exchange the time and experience we have for a salary that is commensurate, after all business people are also slaves to their own business. The most important thing is, we must respect everyone, the path they choose. Those who become rich without a college degree are very lucky, and those who are even luckier are those who become rich by having a college degree.

When you read what you said, you will also believe that business is better in times of getting rich than graduating from college. You made a statement that if everyone should join business or own a capital, then who will be the workers? Nice question. Any one you have experience with will definitely be the worker, and that includes some college graduates, meaning they will work to be paid.
 
One thing that many fail to understand is that in everything in life there is always a failure, and your failure determines your success. So to me, saying that graduating from college is better than having your own personal business is not acceptable to be because, if you own a business, you can be a slave to your own business, but your business will be a slave to you because you are just a monitor or supervisor to your business, not a worker. This is what means money is working for you because, without a lot of effort like a worker, you will earn more than them.
 
Furthermore, the amount of money that has been invested in education just for the sake of a certificate and the time and concentration that have been put there, if that is put into business, you will hardly get poor, but you can still waste the same energy and resources in achieving a degree and still be poor. 
 
So let's accept the truth. I know everyone is not destined to be a rich or wealthy person; there are some that will definitely be poor, so let not overemphasise being a graduate.

A graduate is never the key to becoming wealthy. Because you can gain knowledge by reading books but you will not get practical work experience. If you want to earn money, you must be good at one job or one sector. After graduating you can choose the right path but you will not be automatically rich. Hard work is the key to wealth. I believe it. Because if you don't work hard, you can never earn money, whether that work is physical or logical. So I don't agree that graduate is the key to wealth. but in our society, graduate increases a person's self-esteem. It can also be said to be a great asset

When someone who graduates from a good education does not necessarily mean they will be successful and also have a lot of wealth because the knowledge gained through education is not the same as those who can get direct experience from their daily lives.
Mastering a field of work of course this will be able to make success and also provide wealth and of course this is not easy to get of course it takes a process to be able to master a field of work and we must also be patient with each process in order to achieve success.
Yes you are right, to be successful of course it takes hard work and as you said it is impossible to be successful without doing something that can give us income, so for those who have just finished their education of course they must be able to work hard and they should not be lazy so as not to regret it when they have missed the opportunity at a young age.

I agreed with you here because I believe being a graduate would bring opportunities of getting a good well paying jobs particularly in developed countries unlike in developing countries where there is high rate of unemployment, in my country not all the rich people are graduate but majority of them acquired some level of education and employed a lot of graduates in their companies, I think the priority and objectives of being a graduate is to utilize and solve problems for society thus earning monitary rewards from opportunities in term of jobs through researching on the demand in a society and by finding solutions to them thus wealth can be created.

The comparison between rich people in developed countries and rich people in developing countries is indeed very different because from the level of work and income through companies and factories in countries like that we can also see the difference. So people who have graduated from a higher level of education in developing countries usually prefer to set up their own companies rather than work with other people with a salary that is not too big.

Meanwhile, people who have higher education in developed countries who will immediately get a job are people who are quite lucky with a much better salary capacity because they are not only paid because of their educational degree but also paid because of the special skills they have and are also valued based on their experience in a particular field.

Because they don't have a good knowledge about money.

They go to school, playing together, take a student loan, go to college, working only to pay off the debts, go to party, have a girlfriend, live in luxury lifestyle, and didn't invest the money.

How they can build their wealth if they choose to enjoy their life instead of delay the instant gratification?

It's kinda true, a lot of people don't have a good knowledge about making money, but the thing is, you ll never be taught how to make money in school, sometimes I ask myself what was the point of learning all the algebra and linear equations if they cant give us the knowledge of how to make even a hundred dollars monthly...A lot of young of people rely solely of what they learnt in school without being open to ideas and trying to explore different areas to make money..not every poor graduate are nonchalant , partying or living wrecklessly

The point of being a graduate is for you to get a job in some company. But if being a graduate of a unknown college/low-class school, good luck on finding a good job that is not a dead end. Usually, you get one in a small company with a small opportunity for growth.

If you can't get in in one of the top universities in your country, then go to vocational school and learn a practical skill.

Plus who said being "a graduate" is they key to being wealthy? That's laughable.
