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
Well from my point of view education isn't a waste of time, according to Google dictionary ( Education is the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at a school or university.) And education can either be formal or informal, hence being educated doesn't entail going to a formal gathering in form of a school.
In most developing countries like Nigeria as a case study, most children have been trained to believe that going to school guarantees success which isn't correct to me.
For a country like Nigeria with an increasing demanding population and minimal job opportunities in the labour market, you don't expect a gauranty of job after schooling but rather education helps you realise your potential and gives you an enabling environment to associate with people and achieve your purpose.
Because we see people who aren't schooled succeeding doesn't mean people who were aren't successful as well.
