It's still worth something but that most important thing you need to take note of is that it's no longer a criteria for success. I saw a post made by a content creator/ streamer I'm Nigeria who hasn't even acquired a degree but he said that he's willing to employ people that would always help him hold his camera to be paid #500000 monthly. Lol it was quite funny that he said only masters degree holders can get the job.

That's the reality that we have today. In today's generation, having a degree is not a measure of success anymore. It is how you sell yourself in the market and make a living. There are so many options now how to earn money. A lot are getting their passive income via different social media platforms. If you know how to face your camera and face the world virtually, you can indeed earn money in no time. But of course, it also needs dedication and perseverance. You won't get outright compensation with what you do as you need to acquire subscribers and more to earn a decent income. If it is not your forte, then, acquire skills on a different manner or educate yourself for something you really wanna do in life.

Although not a measure of success, higher education can definitely benefit you in making any decision and being successful. Compared to semi-educated and illiterate people, they can successfully deal with any situation. Highly educated people can get comfortable jobs to earn a living due to their skills and they can reach the pinnacle of success by acquiring more skills. Compared to the amount of money you can earn through physical labor without being highly educated, educated people can earn more with relatively less effort.

People want to do anything, they have to be educated first because they play a more leading role in changing the society. Higher education develops in them the skills to understand social values and strategist on every issue and lead from the front line.
