Small essay on education and success. Is there any correlation
Answers
Education is just the process of learning. Education doesn't stop because you have left college and does not start because you started attending school.
Success comes to those who keep learning…
Wealth and money are just one part of success.
Obviously, people without a formal degree can be successful. Often people arguing against the need for education will support their position by pointing to hugely successful people like Bill Gates or Steve Jobs who did not graduate from college. If you are a genius like Gates (who got into Harvard with a nearly perfect SAT score and dropped out in his junior year to start Microsoft), then you don’t need to go to college to succeed.
Clearly there are many individual examples of people who succeed with less education than others. However, studies show that success and income increase with more education. If you have the innate intelligence, drive, and luck to succeed without an education - good for you. Just be careful that you avoid buying into the story that you do not need an education. Looking back 20-30 years later, you may regret the decision to pass on more education.
