The point I was making was that having a high academic degree does not guarantee a meaningful or gainful career.

There are a lot of hurdles even after achieving this goal of having a degree.

Someone who is not interested in going to Uni or work hard in getting a higher education degree, has other great potential which needs to be looked at.

I never tried to marginalize the importance of education and that is broad term by itself. The question I believe was not about high school or college education, I merely gave an example from one extreme.

I know what you mean and I can relate to that. I am not about education for the sake of a successful career. I just wish that he becomes a productive member of the society not a burden to the society. I would take him as next Bill Gate without lot of education over a homeless master’s degree holder.

I also belong to the school of thought who do not believe that material success can only be achieved with lot of education.I have many materially successful friends who do not have great degrees from some big name university.
