Is education necessary for success?

Hal Palowoda: For many people, education makes the difference between life and death. Education opens doors and public education teaches middle-class norms which many people do not learn at home. 70% of the prison inmates (or inmates on death row--I can't remember which) are illiterate.

Jannie Ariola: i paid 30 000 dollars to get a university degree ... so many university degrees, while interesting to learn, have no real application in the working world ... like an arts degree, a philosophy degree, a history degree, a psychology degree ... none of these degrees and more have any application in the working word ... if you go on and get a masters or phd then maybe but to the poor people who think a four year arts degree is going to open up the working world are sadly deluded ... out of every one i went to university with, not one is working in a field even closely related to what they took in university ... in fact, many have gone on to college to take a course that trains for an actual job ... which is what i did, and i think if i had of spent 800 dollars in the beginning before university for a college diploma in which i was working within days of graduating, and over the years i have started and grown my own business, i would ha! ve been much better off ... the only thing university did for! me is give me a big debt to pay off ... i think some education is necessary for success but i don't think loans and grants should be given for courses that do not result in actual jobs ... that is education setting you up for failure...Show more
