I completed college (against my wish) this summer, it has been a long ride full of stupidity, sarcastic circumstances and numerous emotions.
In India, drop outs are treated as socially unacceptable or failures for the rest life. I personally have had a share of it for some time. Drop outs are like a stigma to society. People value college education over a kid's own will.And once you drop out, Suddenly you are the looser,the dumber among them.
So how important is college to success ?
Bill Gates
Ted turner
Walt Disney
Albert Einstein
Mark Twain
Steve Jobs
Benjamin Franklin
Thomas Edison
Paul Allen
Michael Dell
Richard Branson
Dhiru Bhai Ambani
Gautam Adani
and others.
I personally admire each of these individuals who are drop outs and yet very successful.
All i am saying is a education is much over rated.Students committing suicide just for a failure in some board exams is just a by-product of this conditioning by society.Education alone is not the only way to be successful, and certainly not a specific profession.
Taking into consideration the amount of money and time people spend on education WITHOUT their will, i would say its not worth it. I'm not against people who want to pursue professional courses , as they definitely require knowledge and skill level that you need to comprehend during those courses.
There is a lot of money flowing around the world every day, so decide if you not ending up with a degree or with a specific job does means the end of the road.There is abundant money for everyone, we are living in the richest times humans have ever lived.
