First of all, it must be acknowledged that education is very important in life, with education it will make someone able to think more broadly and act well. The problem of rich and poor is a nature that occurs naturally. So how can someone be considered rich? I don't think an educated person will suffer a very bad fate, but at least he will be useful even if he only gets a relatively average job. So I don't agree if people compare something that is irrelevant and education has nothing to do with the fate of being rich or poor.
Yes agree with you. Education is not important if the goal is only a diploma. However, education shapes a person's mindset through the knowledge gained and the environment. In essence, school may not be important, because we not only need concepts in learning something, but the application, including support. Because education can be found anywhere, including the environment that can shape a person's character and personality.
However, if we look at the progress of today's times and civilization, school has become a means and opportunity to find work. And most importantly, when studying lessons at school, we are the ones who play an important role in applying the knowledge we gain so that we can apply it in everyday life and get a job according to our abilities. If we fail, it means we can't accept lessons easily and don't want to work hard. Rich or poor depends on each of our intentions and hard work, and having an education will be much better.
