Education doesn't guarantee success though it provides the means. It can only position one with necessary idea and skills it takes to make it. I have a few of my friends who made it as businessmen more than us that chose to go to university even with good grades. Education enhances our skills and abilities but doesn't provide food on our table instead idea does. Education generates solution to problem through innovations. |

Success means different thing to different folks. To me, the opportunity to pass through the four walls of university on its own is a success. Educated person is equip by the virtue all those scholastic literatures, to create wealth as an entrepreneur. Success is just opportunity plus idea. But uneducated person is more vulnerable to shocks like the present government policy on money transfer abroad, ban on some certain commodities too. The educated person is full aware of the government policies and it effect on his business. The success of an educated man is more sustainable, this is based on the carefully done feasibility study. Finally, no room for comparison because the educated man has his certificate to fall back to but the uneducated is at the mercy of nothing. |

Some times, when people talk like that, they are refering to educational system of Nigeria not really the whole world at large... |

Education is very important, we can`t dispute that but the kind of education we received here in Nigeria has made so many so called Graduates to be lazy.That is why many graduates are unemployed today and some unemployable. Alot of them allow their grades from school to define them as a person and as such can`t venture into other areas of endeavor. Education only make you teachable and trainable 2 Likes |

Are they really educated? Education should transform ones life. Example a professor of engineering should be providing engineering solutions to some of the technological gap that we are currently facing. Bluffly: 1 Like |

If the kind of education you are talking about is attending school then I can say education does not determine success. It's not about what anyone says, it's a solid fact. There have been illiterate who toiled and made it big in times past both in Nigeria and oversees, some didn't have tertiary education and today they can employ anyone with a degree, M.sc or P.hd. what about sports stars, not all of them really went to school and today many of them are millionaires. There's no illiterate anywhere, everyone has some form of education or the other because we learn everyday, life is a teacher that keeps teaching. |

Everyone has got some sort of education, and am not being philosophical, I mean it literally. If you doubt, sight an example of anyone / group of persons you think are 'illiterates' and I would gladly point out their education.[/quote] Yes so on point! But I'd like to disagree with ur opinion 'There's no such thing as illiteracy' there's smth as illiteracy and it's defined as 1) inability to read and write 2) lack of knowledge in a particular subject It's only based on these definition one may be classified as an illiterate. For example I may be a medical literate but a geology illiterate. Constructive criticism is welcomed. Regards |

[quote author=EduRegard post=47798946]A new chorus has taken over the nation. The song of "Education does not guarantee success". I can precisely say that you must have come across it either from your close associates or those in your far edge. There are a good number of people who often say "Education does not guarantee success". This article will unveil them. 1. The Illiterate. The illiterate, as they are known, are ignorant of the power of education. The predominance of them see years spent in school as a waste of time. 2. People With Financial Crisis. Another category of people who often say "Education does not guarantee success" are those who can't afford to send their children to higher institution or the victims of these parents. They say this to console themselves. 3. People who give up when seeking admission. The indolent people have never run out of excuses. They always have something to say to defend their inabilities. After they could have applied for admission for a number of times and couldn't make it. They end up saying "Education does not guarantee success". 4. People with poor grades. Students with low grades are often scare of their chances of graduating well. They mostly have the phobia that their certificates will be inoperable. A good clause they used to soothe themselves is "Education does not guarantee success". 5. Those who succeed without education. Let me first congratulate this category of people for their achievements. This set of people at times discourage people from going to higher institution because of their success without the effect of education. They won't use those who make it with education as examples but only themselves. Like the first category of people I mentioned above, they also see education as a waste of time. They constantly say " Education does not guarantee success". According to me, It is true that education does not guarantee success but it is one of the prerequisite of success. SOURCE : http://eduregard.com/5-categories-people-say-education-not-guarantee-success/[/quote there is no such word as illitercy.one can be educated in many ways apart from schooling. schoolibg is not a guarantee for success to be realistic.Thomas Edison had but three months of schooling but he was very educated and sucessful.Henry Ford was a high school graduate and he was very successful.Bill gates is also a dropout,the list is endless. Successs is not measured by yards or by d background of d person corcerned or by educational degrees rather it is measured by the ability of d person to think____Dr Napoleon Hill____. If u are doctorate degree holder and u cant make use of ur brain then,u can neva become successful |

clintonopah:from grammar alone it is clear that education isn't the key to success... and if really u are educated and u still hope to work under someone "e.g the companies u talked about".... then u need to go back to school... and if at this era u still do not know that innovation and ideas which aren't things u get from schools are the basics for success then u don't know what success is.. |
Re: 5 Categories Of People That Say "Education Does Not Guarantee Success" by Nobody: 1:00pm On Jul 23, 2016 |
Education has never guaranteed success. I'm a 400lvl student of chemical engineering with the BEST result in my faculty. Though I'm poor, but I know poor people as well as illiterates who will oppose my opinion on education and success. Only illiterates and poor people will tell you education is the route to success because they were either poor and couldn't afford education or rich and didn't go to school, so take those two out of your list. |

The school is nt where yu go to get rich. The school is where you go to get life transforming information which can be put to use however you deem fit...Soldiers were taught and learned to kill, some for the money, as assassins, some for the fun and some others for the love of crown and country. Prophets with the spirit of a prophet were taught on the nature, the ministration and administration of their gift and some prophesy for the money, some for the fame (they will have their reward like Balaam did) while others do so for the love of the LORD! The school is where you get information. What you do with that information is strictly your business. However some misguided, myopic and sadly moronic persons jump into schools not clearly realizing the relevance of the training they get from school for the purpose they set out to achieve. You want to be rich overnight yet you went to study Philosophy! Whaaaat!! How on earth in a country like Nigeria will you become rich quick by philosophizing and blabbing a lot of Obahiagbonish vocabulary? No wonder a person goes to school, spend 5 years to study Engineering and lands in a bank as a business development officer. What a waste! If 4 out of that 5 years were spent doing finance, marketing or management he'd have been a better fit for the job. So, sir, a school is relevant only to extent that it provides you information necessary to serve your purpose. Hence if you go to school and become redundant then it's either you are in the wrong school/department or you have not yet discovered purpose and i think the latter is true for most people... Anywhere belle face syndrome! |
