virud:
For starters, there are broadly two forms of education; formal (conventional primary, secondary and university institutions of learning ) and informal (petty trading, apprenticeship etc ) education. For the records, success is not tied to any particular form of education.

Success as far as am concerned is a relative term, the accomplishment of an aim or purpose, and it is not tied to one particular event. Education and success are very different phenomenon. Any attempt to mix both is usually catastrophic.


On the other hand, Education is the the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction. By this simple definition, every person you've met seems to have attained a level / degree of education.

Education and success, what is the correlation, if any?
Now if education to you means seeing the four walls of a conventional university, secondary or primary institution, then, I make bold to say that your brand of education is not important to achieving success. Simply because education and literacy are not correlated.

Be that as it may, Education is very important to both your personal and professional life, in a number of significant ways! Depending on the level of success you’re seeking to achieve, the level of education may be relative, but the bottom line is, an education of some sort is often paramount to future success. And everyone is by some deliberate means educated. There's no such thing as illiteracy.

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.

virud has really done a good job explaining alot, and I want to add this, Success is a state of mind. Being successful is factor of what I see success as and what I'm pursuing.

Education is fundamental to success, but not formal education. Most people thinking formal education determines success often tend to see it as Certificate will guarantee success, and that's the error. Knowledge is power, be it formal or informal and that's what really makes one successful.

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.

Education doesn't guarantee success
Your problem is mistaking "Academics" for Education, meanwhile academics is far from being a prerequisite of education. As a matter of fact you don't need academic to achieve anything in life but without education you're nothing.
" Education is the key to life academics (school) is the lock- Suli breaks.
So next when someone says education doesn't guarantee success what he or she simply means or is mistaking is Academics doesn't guarantee success"

Ladies and gentlemen I want to correct this 5 misconception about success... Success in life is not a function of your educational certificates... A first class grauduate with no personal attitude and drive to be successful in life will rot and die with his certificates... In as much as education is a stepping stone to success and greater achievement..an educated man is a liberated mind, a mind that can think and find solutions to problems,a mind that is prepared to change poverty to riches with GOD By your Side...so how do you achieve all this when you bank on your educational Certificate with no single effort to creat wealth? If you like get first class....then go and sleep you will still remain poor and your first class will be a waste of time and resources.

Nice write up, but I will simply put it thus: Education( formal or informal) is a means to an End(Success). its not an End by itself neither does it guarantee ones success.

Obviously, you don't know the meaning of education.

Education is not limited to classroom alone.

Education is good, but it does not guarantee success. I am a living testimony to that.

Success is all about Goal setting, determination, Self confidence and sacrifice.

Made my first millions at the age of 21. And now at 34 years i have more than i can spend in my life time.

And guess what. Am not a graduate.

Infact I already have a lot of business ideas and i am just waiting to finish school cuz I believe what is worth doing is worth doing well. I don't think I can achieve full success and financial freedom from just going to school and working under somebody. Infact I don't want to work for anyone but myself

I am happy I have found someone who understands that in Nigeria, what we refer to as Education is simply Certification.

Apart from the so called Professional courses, how many graduates can make money from the knowledge acrude to them after graduation (apart from teaching)?

The OP is a nut.... Nigeria is in deep shit if we have people like you as president. Lopsided reasoning. Ekiti has the largest base of literates in Nigeria yet their state is as good a village. It isn't about what you are being taught but what you think of. Make your survey, identify how many graduates we have in Nigeria and see why we should get our hands dirty instead of our over-hyped educational system. Schooling is far different from education. Have you ever read about the American revolution. Abraham Lincoln only attended school for just 3 months and with that he transformed America. Think boy! Folks like you who have water-logged mindset make me cringe. Shior... Better find a way to liberate your country from this doldrums we are and stop talking nonsense here.
