    Education is not the key success per say, but it's a tool that will give you an advantage over the others and will definitely help you improve either your business or your overall life, because it's not only limited to books or degrees, the overall journey itself polishes your personality and spirit on so many levels and that can be clearly seen when comparing an educated human being vs an uneducated one.

    There are many students who have completed engineering and unemployed. Practical is more important than theory. If one has educated, he/she must know how to use the knowledge and where to use. You must be clever enough to be rich without education.

    According to me, I'll strongly recommend to study hard and put effort in it.

    Education is important to gain knowledge about certain things and if you want to make your millions in certain areas you would need a certain degree of education however I don't feel that you NEED to have an education to be rich. There are many people out there that have become rich with good ideas and no education.

    It is not necessary to get rich. You can gain a lot of wealth without having an education, just like a lot of uneducated celebrities and internet sensations. Education is just one of the many ways to get rich.

    However, it is one of the easiest, fastest and safest ways to make wealth. You can have something to fall back on if other means of getting rich fail. Plus, if you are smart, it is easy, because all you have to do is be smart and get scholarships, get a great job, then make a lot of money.

    Education provides a leeway to ones objectives and targets. Without proper studies and learning, one cannot actually get to riches he or she is yearning for.

    For me education is not important but it is necessary. It is necessary in that one will be able to bargain in the market. It is necessary for communication. But in terms of wealth it's not related. This is because I know of a person who is a well know engineer but didn't step in an engineering school. For money it is all about skill

    Education may help you learn the skills you need to become rich and successful but it is not a requirement. Some people have become extremely rich all while dropping out collage. The person I am talking about is Bill Gates.
    Whether or not you become successful may depend on how creative you are rather than how much education you got.

    Education can not make you rich but it is the foundation of riches, With the education you can have plenty of opportunity to be who you want to become, at least with the education you can spell out your name and fill in blank spaces, If you have no educational background, your thought will not be of the modern world but rather those of the 15 centuries I guess, acquiring the education put you in the line of becoming someone in the future, you can learn through plenty and different ways but all you need is the foundation .

    Education is really needed since it disciplines the way you live your life. To achieve any goal you have in your mind it is compulsory to be educated to know clearly the requirements you need to achieve your goal. Education prepares you to meet the challenges you face in your life. It clearly distinguishes between the correct and the wrong path that you might want to pursue in your life. Every educated man closes a prison door.

    Education is not directly related with the wealth or money. Education makes a person wise, knowledgeable, thoughtful and skilled in his field of study. An educated and skilled person can easily find a way to earn bread and butter for his livelihood, lead a standard life and adjust quickly with the society. He can manage his day-today problems easily and thoughtfully. He would be more competitive in comparison to the uneducnated or less educated person.

    Education is not only important to get money, but, also important to keep and maintain wealth and for the future.

    Education does not make you rich but it is necessary. It equips you with the necessary knowledge and skills that enable you to work and as a result you get rich. Education must go hand in hand with hard work and wisdom for you to become rich.

    i think it gives you an advantage but will not necessarily make you rich if you do not strive hard for it

    Yes, some richest person have not studied a lot but we can't say that everyone can become rich without acquiring a degree or a knowledge.So obviously education contains lot importance.

    Like all the others, I do feel education is not the only means of becoming rich. Most of the members spoke about wisdom and critical thinking; I do feel with education it allows you to think beyond "the box". It allows you to acquire the knowledge, skills, values and good habits that necessary to make you successful. Do not see it as a waste of time or burdensome but as a way to secure leadership and ownership for your dreams of becoming rich.

    Education is important to build the mind of the rich. It's not the key to become rich but it can be the key to STAY rich. We see a lot of people spending money like crazy just because they rely on other or trust anyone. If you look for education as you get money you can be able to know what others are doing and dont have to leave everything to other "just because they know and you dont"

    I think that depends on what it is that you want to do. My youngest son is an example of someone who can become successful without an education. He was a handful as a child, mostly because he was really, really smart and got bored easily. He didn't get along with teachers and I got burnt out from having to deal with the fallout of him being so good at pushing their buttons. I let him leave school at 16. Instead of playing video games or wasting his time he taught himself how to program in multiple computer languages. He worked a couple of regular jobs with low pay for a year or two while still teaching himself more and more coding and got his GED.

    Fast forward to age 19 and he was working online independently and making enough money to pay his own way. Around 20 he wrote a complete program that did something that no other program did. He sold it and bought himself a Ducati motorcycle. A couple of years later he fell in love, got married to a woman who got a scholarship to a very good school. With a GED he got hired by the college as a Software Engineer. He left that job after a third person bought that old software program he wrote and made him a partner in order to update and improve it. He's doing quite well for himself now.

    Ultimately, if you work hard towards your goal and what you want to do doesn't require a formal education you can use all the free courses online to help gain knowledge. Just be aware what your dream job will require of you.

    Education is very very necessary to become rich but having a degree is not necessary to become rich. A lot of people have good ideas,very talented, very skilled etc....But they are not informed(educated) to know what to do with there talent. They say knowledge is power, Lots of talented people are very poor because they don't have the power (knowledge) and knowledge can be gotten through education, formal or informal education.

    A person may become rich without education if his sole aim is to become rich. But the difference will be unless if he is extremely lucky he is going to face lot of hurdles, humiliation, deceit etc in the process of becoming rich.

    Education will help to shorten the process of becoming rich as he is well aware how to preserve and multiply his money to become rich. History has got both the examples people without education becoming rich either by their virtues such as honesty, passion, and business acumen and also examples of educated and then rich who have applied their knowledge in the process of becoming rich.

    Education and becoming rich may look like two different things but the internal quality that makes a person to succeed in both of these fields is the same that is the burning desire.
