Well it's not basically about being educated or graduating with the best grades that makes you wealthy, it's about determination, being consistent and also persistent cause success and wealth are not achieved in one day or immediately after graduating. In as much as you have good grades, you must still improve your skills, not only job skills, marketing or management skills but your critical thinking and problem solving skills.
Being a graduate is not the key to being wealthy,yeah that's right but also the value of education should be neglected.We know that not all the graduates that came out 1st class are working in an organization/firm that offers them good pay,some even with their qualifications are still wandering and looking for a job like a fugitive.It doesn't matter if your a graduate,the power of acquiring wealth is in your hands if only you are determined and focused.Those wealthy people at the top became rich because they chased their dreams and achieved it.
I agreed with you here because I believe being a graduate would bring opportunities of getting a good well paying jobs particularly in developed countries unlike in developing countries where there is high rate of unemployment, in my country not all the rich people are graduate but majority of them acquired some level of education and employed a lot of graduates in their companies, I think the priority and objectives of being a graduate is to utilize and solve problems for society thus earning monitary rewards from opportunities in term of jobs through researching on the demand in a society and by finding solutions to them thus wealth can be created.
