Education and Success - Is There A Correlation?

Favour

• Education is important to be successful. Knowledge, imagination, creativity is essential to be successful with hard work & luck a lit bit.
• Education is very important for success. Education and literacy are not correlated, but to be successful the power of mind, creativity, imagination, dedication, knowledge whether bookish or practical is very important. Being educated doesn't mean being literate.
• Education here is not only should considered as a school education or academic education. Some kind of practical or industrial experience is also considered as practice of knowledge gaining.

Against

• I think education need not be important to ensure success. If basic education is present with a person along with critical thinking he can buy himself success. But the society sees a person according to his qualification and not how much he is earning. Education is important, for the values it inculcates etc., but without education too one can ensure success if he has the will and determination. Just being good at math and science does not mean that one is going to be successful!!
• An educated person can be rich but he cannot be socially successful for that he should have few other qualities.

Conclusion

It is the way you consider education. Basically every person needs to go through some sort of learning without it he cannot be successful in all streams of life like social etc.
