Poverty is actually associated with many reasons but you have to try to change your position yourself for this, education is very important, nothing can be done without adequate education. Without education people do not get good jobs and their income is low. Education builds confidence in a person. Educated people can rely on their knowledge and skills without education there is a lack of confidence which is a big obstacle in getting good jobs.
Though you may be right for saying that without education people will not get a good job, of course is a most that one need to be educated before he/she can be able to get a decent job. But with the way the country is going now, even those folks we think that they are not well educated are the once making money than those people who claims to be well educated.
Is obvious that the country is becoming something else, which is why most people don't always bother to erroll thier children in school. because they believe that without thier children being educated that they can still become something in future, Without knowing that even when you are working in a very big company. so far as you're not educated it totally becomes a waste, And you can easily become a victim to scammers.
