First off, I must say that Education is very good and i don't dispute the fact that it's very vital and necessary for human development, it can put you in a position to be successful no doubt but being a graduate is not a 100% guarantee for one to be very wealthy, one can be very sound academically but lack some basic skills of acquiring wealth. Also one can still have some good knowledge of certain skills but if there's no zeal or self confidence in earning a living through it then your education on those skills can be said to be a waste since you ain't making effort to earn from it.

Also I've heard several people complain about having good grades, being 1st class graduates but find it difficult to secure good paying jobs, imagine someone struggling to achieve good grades in the university but find it difficult to earn a living and at the end settle for minor jobs while there are many dropouts with good skillsets as well as being creative and think outside the box, and are bosses of big organisations and companies.

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.

You have speck nicely about education and having a good grade in school, but to be sincere, being a graduate doesn’t determine you to get wealthy; that is just the fact that all you need to be wealthy is knowledge, and even without going to the school, you can get your knowledge, although some think that being a graduate will make you to have a better life.

Yes, as a graduate, you can have a better life, but don’t forget that your life is just limited because you most likely go and get a job, and having a job defines you as a slave that is being paid because you will have to work so that they will pay you in some experience. They will say you are working for the money, and if you really want to be wealthy, you will make the money work for you, and the only way to make money work for you is by business, so that should mean that having a job doesn't determine you to be wealthy, but having a business. That is why I said that graduating with a higher grade makes you a slave. While having knowledge and business makes you a wealthy person.

Not all businesses succeed, and then someone becomes rich. there are many examples around us. Likewise with those who are college graduates, many become successful but not a few are also poor. In my opinion, this is a very classic problem, everyone certainly wants success, and the path to get there does not have to be the same. If everyone is a business person or capital owner, then who is the worker, this is a situation that requires each other. It doesn't matter to exchange the time and experience we have for a salary that is commensurate, after all business people are also slaves to their own business. The most important thing is, we must respect everyone, the path they choose. Those who become rich without a college degree are very lucky, and those who are even luckier are those who become rich by having a college degree.

When you read what you said, you will also believe that business is better in times of getting rich than graduating from college. You made a statement that if everyone should join business or own a capital, then who will be the workers? Nice question. Any one you have experience with will definitely be the worker, and that includes some college graduates, meaning they will work to be paid.

One thing that many fail to understand is that in everything in life there is always a failure, and your failure determines your success. So to me, saying that graduating from college is better than having your own personal business is not acceptable to be because, if you own a business, you can be a slave to your own business, but your business will be a slave to you because you are just a monitor or supervisor to your business, not a worker. This is what means money is working for you because, without a lot of effort like a worker, you will earn more than them.

Furthermore, the amount of money that has been invested in education just for the sake of a certificate and the time and concentration that have been put there, if that is put into business, you will hardly get poor, but you can still waste the same energy and resources in achieving a degree and still be poor.

So let's accept the truth. I know everyone is not destined to be a rich or wealthy person; there are some that will definitely be poor, so let not overemphasise being a graduate.
