This is common in third world countries, especially in rural areas and mainly among older generations. Because at that time everything was very backward and poor and they worked tirelessly, and their efforts were well rewarded. But the world we live in is very different, a civilized world, high technology and fierce competition...I wonder how a young person can become rich if he is illiterate or has only primary education?

There are many successful people without a degree, but they are not the majority, just a few. We should not use that as an example or evidence to justify that education and degrees are unnecessary. Because the richest people, the people with high and stable incomes in the world...are mostly highly educated and have degrees.
