I really want know if getting more degrees can make life financially better because I come from a country where their are no job and I have seen people that the only thing they can do in life is to read books, getting more degrees attaining all these degrees yet no still go job for them with good pay. Do think people who read in a region with slim job opportunities are doing the right thing?

Most people who go for more degrees believe they can get better job at the end of the day. People that only go for more degrees in a stare with high unemployment rate are they doing right thing by putting all their focus on academic because this is the only thing they can do best.

The answer is it depend. What degree, what university, what cost... Certain countries have reached a point in which Uni no longer makes sense, it is much better to get a basic degree and join a company that develops the people or get directly into business and learn as you need. Some countries however offer cheaper education and then is fine to have a degree - you can then go to another country and make more money.

this one is true, if the cost of university is affordable enough there's nothing wrong to get a degree, but if the cost is too high that it makes you in debt with $100k that you need to pays back maybe we should rethink the decision, there are some applied skills that can be learned through bootcamps or something like that, university is a must, but if its a law degree and even medical then university is necessary but I would bet that majority of people out there, getting degree for the sake of getting degree, basically studying the most obscure and abstract major there is and get entagled in debt.
only study and get a degree for a field that truly prospective in my opinion, after all we pay hefty amount to get that education.
