We work to earn, not to struggle in life.

[Donk1]

​Funny how there are many things we are told when we were small that, growing up just turn out to be lies like how by going to school you will get a job. Well in reality, not everyone who goes to school actually gets a job that could make them rich.Majority of folks in the society right now are all middle class families, but yet somehow, each generation gets to pass through that same stage of believing life is a process and as you advance, things tend to get easier. The system just wants us to constantly work for them I guess that's probably the best way to formally govern the people.
​
But right now things are changing because the system keeps getting worse. So perhaps we just have to focus more on what we see as our goals than what the system wants us to see. That way majority of us will find ourselves more comfortable. Even if you aren't that wealthy, life is always comfortable when you keep progressing in whatever you venture into. That's all.....

I see the point of the topic but looking at the environment we find ourselves I literally don't see the difference between the two especially for working class people in a country, where work is there struggle to not sustain lifestyles but to literally sustain life.

But still it all depends on the work an individual those that would throw things into wide perspectives whether earning money is a struggle in life but i feel the two statements cannot do without each other because if you don't earn, you struggle in life to survive.

You may even be earning in life and still struggle to survive but this depends on your salary and how your responsibilities is but it's still far more better than not earning at all. To start earning in life there will be some struggle at the first stages because there you are trying to build wealth so you can be in that level or stage in life that you no longer struggle survive in life while you are earning.

For me, even if you’re earning and still struggling to survive, it’s more better than when someone doesn’t have a source of income at all. How much a person earns and the responsibilities that the person is taking care of determines how hard things will be.

Once a person start earning, some struggles usually shows up because it’s that stage you will try to build yourself, save and create a good financial stability. The goal is to reach that stage where your income can freely cover your needs, so survival won’t always feel like a struggle.

Of a truth education is not a permanent key to success but must not be neglected if one is willing to excel in life. Many believed and trusted that education must provide a good job for them but at last it didn't why that same thing that never worked for some people was also a transforming tool to others, therefore because it didn't work for us those not mean it won't work for others.
Apart from the provision of job for people that want through schools,  education helps to keep us prepared and ready for the journey ahead of us, not only that it helps expose the hidden challenges of life to us and helps offer a lasting solution to most questions.

The thing about life is that, it is stage by stage and some persons cannot get to some certain stage they want without passing through some other stages, which can even turn out to be rough or hard. But one thing we need to understand and know is, to have patience. Patience builds you for greater opportunities, and also it equips you with some certain skills and experiences. So no one should be too quick to give up, it better to earn something than to earn nothing.

At least for now all almost agree that with education then we become more directed in terms of knowledge, it does not mean those who do not do normal education does not have knowledge but sometimes most of the knowledge will be wild because it does not focus on the direction of the knowledge but with education we can be more directed to a specific goal or focus.

This does not guarantee success and we all know with the reality that is happening now not even a few people who think education is not important but on the other hand with education then we become more able to have more value so that it can be viewed by others.
Nowadays economic strata, education degree has always been one aspect for the inner circle in order to get more privilege so as long as we are able to get it then why not.

Many are inclined to think this way because previously education really did guarantee a job. Universities had entire established networks with those who hired graduates. There were even contracts guaranteeing employment for a specific period. Now, however, it does not work that way. Finding a job is solely your responsibility, no one will help with this. Competition is higher, there is no 'demand' for specialists. Everyone is for themselves and must first win the competition against the company's HR system, not against other specialists,

Responsibility grow even before we start earning, that is the reason why a lot of people are still struggle despite they are earning, simply because it is not enough, our people used to say that half bread is better than none, it is far better to be earning even though it cannot cover your responsibility than staying without getting anything at all, it is very dangerous because it still don't stop your responsibilities, it's better we stand up to solve our problems ourselves.

Our individuals life is different likewise our opportunity of getting money is also different, what you are earning annually it was someone will be earning monthly. We should just treat the life the way it's, in my own Society a lot of people are struggling and also earning but despite that they are still find it difficult to survive.

Yes there are many people who there responsibility is far more than what they are earning in this case they will always struggle to survive in life but despite the low earnings it's still better than not earning at all so i agree with you that half bread is still better than none.
Most time why people still struggle even when they are earning is how the economy of the country is, there are countries that every thing is very costly even if one is earning high in such place it will still be as if they are not earning some also are mismanagement of funds, but to cut everything short it's better to be doing something and be earning no mater how little it will be than not earning at all.

If education is a permanent key to success I believe almost everybody will be or must have been rich by now. Education only makes you more wiser, smarter and more brilliant. Acquiring education guarantee nothing, not even a job talkless of wealth. In order for you to become wealthy you must work very hard for it. Job opportunities are limited, so it quite unfortunate that is not every educated person that could be a civil servant. A lot of graduate are roaming around looking for a job and couldn't secure even single opportunity. Unemployment has so much effects on the school leavers, including their parents and guidance. Some parents spent a lot on their children, hoping for them to secure a good job after graduating from college or university.

Education can help you in getting success but it's not necessary that only educated people will be successful in life. There are uneducated people who never went to school but are successfully running there business now and earning way more then there counterparts that are highly educated. In today's world, if you have just completed your studies then you have to make sure that you are aligned with current technologies also like AI only then you have a chance of getting good job opportunity.

Let's be realistic and straight forward some people think that acquiring education is equivalent to what success, which you and I know that is not true. Some people are lucky enough to secure a well paying job after graduation, while some people reach that stage as a result of connection. You're right, but I can assure you that is not every misconception that turns out to be true, AI is a very good advantage, but some people take advantage of its greatness to manipulate others, and I think the reason why those things are happening is due to lack of job opportunities.

That is how life is, one will have to keep grinding, keep earning and staying patient because some day all the struggle will cease and even if it doesn't, at least it won't be much like before again. And it's true, life is stage by stage and if one is unable to exercise patient, it will hinder them to reach their goal. So regardless of the fact that other people are reaching their goals doesn't mean that yours won't come, as this mindset keeps people going despite the hard times.

The people who earn from any source are happy, as they are working to eat but many people invested 16 to 20 years in study and did no practical in their lives. Now they demand to give them a reputed job because they are educated persons. They wasted their money, time and energy on that and government is not responsible for giving them job because they want to run the other departments, and government want to fire the job workers who are demanding a pension, but people are demanding the job. Skills are more valuable in life if you are a person who has people around who are skilled.  The people who are doing their own business are much better than a person who are doing work for the company because they have  improvement in their career.

When we try to match it, what you can do with formal education today and a century ago, you would find a vast difference.

Back in the day, the job was indeed waiting for you to be done with school, apply and pick it up. That was due to the fact that, we were entering into the age of industrialization and while there were job openings, the majority of the population wasn’t educated and lacked needed qualifications for these jobs. The ones that managed to go through school early found it rather easier to get these jobs.

The case is vastly different in today. We are at a time where entrepreneurship is everything and having to leverage certain online opportunities. It’s society trying to balance itself on the inadequacies from the past. Still, we encounter difficult times due to rapid growth.

How could studying for 16-20 years considered futile or waste, i agree that many people who spend years for study, struggle or hard to find job but matter of fact education result not always apparent immediately, especially for specific profession, formal education can not be replaced because part of our competence such as doctor, nurse, engineer, researcher which need specific formal certification. So the problem not becaiuse we studying to much but there are no suffecient connection between what we study with pratical application and economic opportunity.

For me formal study give me different level of litecacy, critical thingking, analytical ability. domain knowledge, learning ability, social interaction and credential. As business owner, i can say that even i have high potential income, asset ownership, scalability and autonomy but i must reafy to face business failure, cashflow problem, employee, tacation complexity, competition and market confition which all risky. Comparing with employee that have predictable income, training possibility, experiences, social protection and low risk life we can not say business owners are automatically better than employees

Life is a struggle, and that is actually good.
You grow by overcoming issues and not by never go through anything.
The reason the GenZ-X are that handicapped is exactly that. 

[Perfectbaby]

The goal of every individual is to achieve a stable life where they are able to gain the basic necessities of life.
In today's society, we've been made to start seeing life as one where we have to struggle before achieving anything, meanwhile the reverse is suppose to be the case. While we work together earn, it is because we've put in effort to accomplish the tasks given to us while we intend making income. But now, people are even working extra time just to ensure they're able to meet up with the current situation of the society.
While we work, we should also do it smartly while being diligent too. Struggling should only be part of a season which shouldn't be the end of ones destination.

[Prince patrick]

The job or work we are doing these days isn't to make you rich, as an individual working under someone, you cannot get rich from just earning salary, no company will give you that riches you want. If you want to become rich, you will have to think outside the box, you need to make plans, major and strategic plans, you need to understand how money works, while working for a company or a brand, you should learn from them, so that you can be able to build something like that for yourself, it is not a must that you will start big, you can start small, and grow it yourself, it is not always easy to start something, having your own business will take you far, but working for someone will not do much help basically, because you have rent, transportation, feeding, clothes and other family responsibility. This is why we end up struggling while working, because when we are paid our salary, the money goes into different things and none of them is an investment. So I will advise everyone to start investing their salary, into trade or any form of business that will be profitable, so you don't have to struggle while working.

[Etranger]

So regardless of the fact that other people are reaching their goals doesn't mean that yours won't come, as this mindset keeps people going despite the hard times.

I also believe in this in the context of my own life, but there are objective factors showing that this is not always the case. For logical step-by-step development, there need to be adequate economic conditions that imply a growth in monetary compensation proportional to growing experience and expertise. But for this, the employer must have something to pay with, and the demand for your specialty must exist. We live in a world where neither of these aspects is guaranteed or predictable.

[Solodoski]

It's truth that when growing up, we were told to get a good education that will secure us a job and our lives becomes better, but right not people are struggling even after getting education,  but that does not mean that people are still not living a good life after getting education and that does not mean that education is not good.
One thing we need to understand is that getting education does not guarantee that you will definitely become rich, it might have worked in generations past, but I think right now it's not 100% guaranteed. I think we should look past education and try to build ourselves,  by acquiring skills that can put us in the market to get us a good paying job and it's also good to invest when you start getting income so you can definitely improve your life.

Yes, that is exactly how it was. There was a sequence in life, you were prepared for what you would subsequently be doing. Now, however, everything is not like that. You can study for 4, 6, 10 years, and the job you studied for will no longer even exist. And the main skill that modern education should provide is the skill of adaptation and rapid mastery of new fields, developing new skills, sometimes from scratch. This forces one to struggle, and it often does not even pay off in terms of earnings. But if you do not do this, then there are simply no chances of living normally at all.
