Is it necessary to receive higher education?

• Educational process in IT *

I recently had a very entertaining discussion with a 17 year old young man, which began with his phrase "Mark Zuckerberg dropped out and became successful." I saw in him the same stupidity and naivety that was in me, with the only difference that in my 17th birthday there was no Facebook, and Bill Gates was an “uneducated” and successful idol. I diligently explained to my parents that they were completely wrong, and that success can be achieved without higher education. They, in turn, drove it into my head that with a diploma from a good university, I would never be left without a job and stuff like that. In a discussion with a young man, I became convinced that this issue is still relevant. I hope that this text will help all the 17-year-old "me" who cannot understand whether they need to study at a university or not.

“Without a degree, you won’t find a job”

A phrase that, in one interpretation or another, I often heard from my parents. There is some truth in it, because from the point of view of the labor market, a specialist without a “crust” really has great difficulties in finding a job, and such an employee costs much less than “certified”, even if they are not from “top” universities. However, every time parents tell their children this, they are actually deceiving themselves and their children. On the part of parents, there is a need for a stable and high-quality standard of living for their child, so they want him to have a diploma, because. this is a condition of "stability" in existing system. But such formulations create an incorrect system of values ​​in children: they go specifically to a diploma, and not to knowledge and brains, hence there is a reluctance to learn - absenteeism from lectures, “freebie, come” and the like. For them, education = diploma, which is fundamentally wrong. The question is not at all that it is difficult to find a job without a diploma, the question is that you need to go to a university not for a diploma.

"Mark Zuckerberg Dropped Out and Succeeded"

Mark Zuckerberg never dropped out, and neither did Bill Gates. Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison and others. All of them abandoned the systemic (classical) education in favor of self-education and very hard work. And as a 17-year-old I didn't realize it at all. I had illusions about the ease and coolness of entrepreneurship, about the uselessness of education (namely, education, not a diploma), I wanted to go against the system and become a millionaire at the age of 20. But, no matter how trite it may seem, not every person is an entrepreneur. The essence of entrepreneurship is not only to generate cool ideas but also to be able to implement them, which means to be able to take serious risks. Rejection of classical education is one of such risks. The thing about people like Mark Zuckerberg is that their self-education and talent made it possible to quickly get a cool result that brought them out of classical system determining the value of personnel. They had cases that were orders of magnitude more valuable than diplomas from MIT and other “top” universities. Do you have absolute confidence that you can quickly create such cases? But honestly?

Classical education or self-education

The most important plus of classical education is in a long-established system of motivation through tests, exams, coursework and other certifications. You find yourself in a system that constantly puts pressure on you and forces you to learn. This is what students do not like to study for, but also what makes them study in principle. In the case of self-education, no similar system will not, which is the most important risk of rejecting classical education, which must be recognized. I know many examples of people who dropped out of universities and degraded very quickly. Not because they are stupid or bad people but because they lacked their own will and interest in self-education. In addition, at the age of 17 you are most likely not able to properly organize your own education in terms of completeness, relevance and relevance of the knowledge gained, at a time when classical education, although it gives a lot of superfluous things, at the same time gives really a lot. needed.

Do I have enough motivation to develop?

For a long time I had no interest in studying, I was always lazy and studied for three or four. After the second year of study at MEPhI, I realized that I was doing the wrong thing and transferred to a commercial non-prestigious university, where I formally continued my way to obtaining a diploma, but in reality I concentrated on “work”. And soon I found a “dream job”, where I was paid very good salary, and where almost nothing had to be done. A year and a half later, I realized that, to put it mildly, I was dumb. I lagged behind the trends, lost my competencies, my brains, not loaded with new tasks, atrophied, I stopped educating, in short, I lagged behind and lagged far behind. I measured my worth by the salary I received, not realizing that I was losing my real value day by day. The only thing that brought me out of this pool was that I radically changed the direction of my work and “caught a wave” - I began to receive real fun from my activities, because of which my laziness disappeared both in terms of work and in terms of education. I once again shook my brains, I gained and continue to gain the necessary competencies and experience. I went to get a second higher education for the sake of education, and not for the sake of a diploma. I began to understand what exactly I want to study. I am already thinking about where I will study next. In other words, you will only be truly motivated when you find a job that you really want to do. Then you will begin to understand what exactly you need to study in order to achieve greater success in your business. But all this rarely happens at 17, so what you now see as your future may not be what you want in 3-5 years.

Three main assets

The real value you create: developed brains, accumulated knowledge and accumulated experience. Do everything to systematically upgrade these assets. It doesn't matter how you do it: studying at a university, reading books, participating in themed parties, working for an uncle or for yourself. If you are absolutely sure that you know how to pump all three assets without a classical education, how to stand on your feet (earn money), while you are sure that your own motivation will be enough and that you understand exactly where and how you are going - go for it. But do not soar in the clouds, remember that you are building your life and someone else's examples or advice should not be decisive in this. Be aware of the risks and downsides of this approach. And yes, if you refuse classical education, you still get a formal diploma, universities are a dime a dozen, it is not difficult to do this without interrupting other activities. "Crust" will not create additional value for you, but still needed. The rules are like this.

The answer to the question "Is education necessary?" depends on what meaning a person puts into this word. If a we are talking about a document on graduation from an educational institution, then in some cases you can do without it. By itself, a diploma does not give anything and should not be an end in itself. But if education is understood as the acquisition and improvement of knowledge, the expansion of one's horizons and professional skills, then it is necessary for the formation of a person as a person.

general education

Education is a set of knowledge, skills and abilities that a person receives in different periods of his life. The process of education begins in childhood and can continue throughout life. You can acquire knowledge in educational institutions with the help of teachers or engage in self-education. The right to education is enshrined in the Constitution, the European Convention on Human Rights and other legal acts.

General education programs include:

1. Preschool education programs. young children if it is not mandatory? Preschool education lays the foundation for the intellectual and physical development of the child. If for some reason the parents cannot or do not want to take the baby to the nursery preschool they must educate themselves.
2. General education programs. General education also called school or secondary education. Without a certificate of secondary education, it is impossible to continue education in a technical or higher education educational institution hence get a specialty. in addition to receiving the document? The school not only provides basic knowledge in various subjects, but teaches discipline, adaptation in society, and educates character.
3. Higher education programs. everyone? Of course not, since not every person aspires to become a civil servant, office worker or leader. Many build their lives in a different way, and for this they have enough knowledge gained at school, or after completing specialized courses, in the process of self-education. Although for a person who has a diploma of higher education, more prospects and opportunities open up.

self-education

Self-education is a kind of superstructure over the foundation of basic knowledge acquired at school or college. The self-study program consists only of required material in accordance with the interests and needs of a particular person.

Self-acquisition of additional knowledge, mastery of skills and abilities provides complete freedom in choosing sources of information, as well as the amount of time spent. That's the beauty of this kind of education.

Functions of education and its value to society

Education as part of social culture performs several interrelated functions:

1. reproduction function. It consists in the reproduction of culture in new generations on the basis of professional experience, the achievements of science and art, spiritual and cultural values. Education creates a sense of responsibility to future generations for the preservation and enrichment of cultural heritage.
2. development function. It implies the development of individual human personalities and society as a whole. Education helps young people to join the life of society, to integrate into social system, become a full-fledged citizen of the country, achieve success in society. Education affects the social status of a person, provides mobility, promotes self-affirmation.

The potential of any state and its prospects further development directly depend on the level of moral, economic and cultural spheres. Education is a fundamental factor in the interaction between members of society, the attractiveness of the country as a whole.

The value of education for a person

Speaking about the benefits of education for society, it is impossible to underestimate its importance directly for each individual. AT modern world education is one of the main value orientations in society. Education is not only about getting professional knowledge and skills, but personal development. An educated person has a number of advantages:

• freedom and independence;
• stability of existence;
• universalism (the need for harmony, justice, tolerance);
• success in society, social approval;
• power and respect for others.

Currently, education is not a priority for the elite, but is available to everyone. Therefore, each of us is the arbiter of his own destiny.

So is higher education necessary? Most of those who have received a higher education and then came to the conclusion that they do not need it start anti-propaganda of education. And often they do not even realize that they themselves have become the cause of the unsatisfactory experience. How is this possible? I want to tell in this article.

Skeptics of higher education, please read to the end and answer the questions. And if, after answering the questions, you still think that higher education is “evil”, then I am very seriously ready to delve into this issue and consider your arguments.

So why did the topic come up. AT recent times I increasingly hear and see, especially on the Internet, a lot of anti-advertising of higher education. And since I myself am in the system, I know it from the inside, it seems to me that I can talk about it, scold and praise it. And in general I have the right to raise this issue.

Do I need a higher education: oh, these examples

For example, I have seen statements like this:

• First you work for a record book, then nowhere
• Mom's bedtime stories: finish school, finish university, find Good work and everything will be fine

The network is full of information and articles about how many eminent, famous people, more often businessmen, innovators reached heights. At the same time, at one time they left the university or school and did not receive a higher education. Like, why is it needed, why spend years on an incomprehensible pastime, if later it is not needed.

It is hard and often painful for me to look at these statements. After all, they are turning to young people, schoolchildren who have yet to make a choice pay attention to these statements. And the sad thing is that such powerful, memorable, often provocative phrases and thoughts can lead a young, unformed personality on the wrong path, confuse. Why?

1. Think for yourself. As a percentage, how many stories are successful people who, having dropped out of universities, have achieved success? Hundredths of a percent. And did someone consider those who graduated from high school and became successful?

No one talks about the education of these people. It's not interesting, it's not provocative! And how many of them? Such figures are often cited (and by the way, it is still unknown where this is taken from) that about 30-40% of successful and wealthy people do not have a higher education. Yes, good figure! But the remaining 60-70% with the highest, and not vice versa. The statistics are in favor of education.

Many do not even think that successful projects were formed precisely thanks to education.

Here is just a small list.

• Google is the result of the scientific development of its founders students Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Their developments were financed by the Science Foundation, young developers were supported by scientific supervisors. And imagine that they did not go there to study.
• But our domestic Internet giant is not far behind. Volozh Arkady Yurievich - co-founder and CEO of the company
• Warren Buffett. The largest in the world and one of the most famous investors. Buffett studied under Benjamin Graham at Columbia University, New York. According to Buffett, it was Graham who laid the foundations for smart investing in him through fundamental analysis, and describes him as the person who had greatest influence for his life after his father.
• Kostin Andrei Leonidovich. President-Chairman of the Board of VTB, a bank in the TOP-3 of Russian banks. At one time he graduated with honors from the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University.
• Aven Petr Olegovich. Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Banking Group " Alfa Bank". He graduated from the Faculty of Economics of Moscow State University, and later defended his dissertation for the degree of candidate of economic sciences.
• Dmitry Grishin. Russian venture investor, head of the board of directors of Mail.ru Group. Graduated from the Moscow State Technical University named after Bauman with honors in the specialty "Computer-aided design systems".

Well, if you want to be the head of a bank, a millionaire, create a new Google or Yandex, study. Doesn't sound very interesting, does it? Not like anti-propaganda. (I will just keep silent about doctors and scientists, they are ALL educated, and there are ... thousands of them).

And what are the chances that this particular student who decided not to study will achieve such success? And what are the chances that with education it will reach? Unknown. Yes Yes. In either case, there are no guarantees. I am not saying that education will make you successful. There are no guarantees either way.

Education will only help those who really need it. Is higher education necessary and how to determine it? Let's talk below.

Is higher education necessary? Popular objections

I got a diploma, but no one hires me, I have to go looking for places. Blame higher education.

For some reason, we believe that having received the crusts, we will immediately get settled, joyful employers will tear us right off the bat. But is there a guarantee for this? No, we have not been living in the Soviet Union for a long time. There is no guarantee that you will be accepted with pleasure. What are the chances of getting a job without education? Even less.

I want to say that education and getting a job are two different process. Yes, one partly depends on the other, but it is important to understand that getting an education does not mean getting a job. Both with and without education, in order to find a good place, you need to work hard, make an effort.

Does it bother you? Get rid of the myth in your head that a degree equals a safe place. With the collapse of the USSR, this ceased to be so. You can treat it however you like. This is a fact and needs to be understood. Throw out this myth about getting a job.

With or without a degree, you need to make an effort. Cutlets separately, flies separately. Getting a job is a separate project. Your personal. Education will only give the right to hope for some positions and a knowledge base for a number of specialties. And that's it.

Now think about whether higher education itself is to blame for the fact that this Soviet myth is sitting in your head? The question is rhetorical.

I got a diploma, I'm looking for a job, but I can't get a job. There is no work. Everything is crowded in my industry. No one takes on a specialty. Blame higher education.

Immediately the question is: when you entered, did you study the market? Have you analyzed where you can work, how much the profession is in demand? Not? Why?

Why, before submitting the documents, did you not ask what are the chances of getting a job in this specialty, what is the turnover in the profession, what are the chances for development? Not interested? Why?

I can say that at the age of 16, when I was preparing to enter the Faculty of Chemistry and Technology, I learned everything that was available in the specialty I was interested in. Where can I work, what are the chances, are there any vacancies. I was pleased that there was a specialist for the desired specialty. set from employers who are willing to pay special. scholarship and wait for graduates. It's good, really. I prepared and dreamed of working in a large cool, prosperous company.

But I never got there. No, everything would be all right with the exams, I deliberately did not submit documents there. There, I could have problems with the device, since women are taken with caution in these types of enterprises due to health risks. I decided that this option does not suit me. I realized in advance that difficulties could await me later, and my health is dear to me.

I prepared for one, entered another, the Faculty of Chemistry. Where there was a wide potential to work in safe food, cosmetic and environmental areas. I already thought about it at the age of 16. And you?

When we want to open a business (for good), we carefully analyze the niche, demand, and identify the needs of potential buyers. After all, without doing this, you can fly into the pipe. When we meet people, we consciously or not evaluate them to what extent good man What are his values. We do not really want to communicate with alcoholics, parasites, whiners, beggars, we step back and do not let such people into our lives.

And why do we thoughtlessly get an education that no one needs and still hope that we, as highly qualified specialists, will be torn off with our hands? Go learn to be teachers, doctors - there is a huge demand. Do not want? Want to be a lawyer? Is there freebies and money? So do not be surprised that there are a lot of lawyers and the chances of a device are minimal.

Now think about whether higher education itself is to blame for the fact that you did not think about work in advance? Another rhetorical question.

I know people with education, they are kind of stupid and stupid. Education spoils them

In fact, no matter what the external cultural influence may be, a person becomes smart, erudite, competent HIMSELF. Yes, the environment can make its own adjustments, a young person can get into bad company. But those who want to develop, develop. And those who only like to drink beer and play tanks will not become great scientists and inventors, no matter what elite university they study at.

Any person can start himself, or he can constantly develop, improve personal qualities. Only this is the work of the person himself; someone else should not and cannot do it for him. Do you still think that it should be university professors?

While studying, I realized that I wanted to do something else. Opened his own business, took up design / decided to take up psychology / carve furniture / travel, etc. Higher education is to blame for the fact that it interfered with doing what you love.

In coaching, there is one amazing, beautiful principle “every person does The best choice in this moment". Then at the age of 16-17-18, you simply could not know that in 2-3 years you would be fixing bikes and it would be a real pleasure for you, it would become a matter of life.

Then you did not have the experience, the knowledge that you have now. Then you made this choice because you didn't know what you might like in the future. Then you have just begun to understand what you want in life. The tower was an acceptable option at that time. You didn’t wander around the yards, drinking beer with “friends”, but began to learn at least something, perhaps you found real friends among classmates, met your future wife / husband, participated in student events.

Many of us have a myth in our heads that once we make a choice of a profession, we will stay in it forever. Friends, this is MYTH, MYTH, MYTH. You can (and should) change the nature of your activity. There is nothing terrible if, after a year or two or three after admission, you realize that this is not for you, if you have found a job that you like more. So that's great!

Some of my classmates/classmates finished their education and realized that this specialty was not for them. Even in the course of basic studies, some entered the second higher education, someone completed retraining courses. Learned, settled down and happy in yourself new sphere. This is good, and this is their way of life.

Is education to blame for the fact that you yourself did not know what you wanted at the age of 16-17-18? Yes, that rhetorical question again!

Or maybe you did because your parents insisted, in company with a friend, because it's fashionable? And then you say that education is useless. I’m so very careful, don’t take it as impudence, I want to ask if it’s your fault that you chose education, succumbing to external influence?

So is education to blame for what you did not of your own free will? (Yes, what are these rhetorical questions, tired already!)

Analyze if you need a higher education

So, if you have a negative attitude towards education, answer the questions:

• Is the specialty where you entered, is it desirable, is it your favorite thing? Was it the same at the time of admission?
• Did you analyze in advance the possibilities of getting a job? Have you looked at the demand for specialists in this specialty?
• Have you been making efforts to find a job? How well did you look for a place?
• Do you really enjoy doing what you have learned?

If you answered YES to all questions, if you have done everything that depends on you, and at the same time you think that higher education is not necessary, then I am very interested in your position, I will be happy to discuss this topic with you in the comments.

Most of all, it is sad to see that universities are blamed mainly by those who went to study there against their will, did nothing to find out about their future work, did not make any attempts to use their knowledge. And then they blame education for their failures. Agree, this is the position of a child, a teenager, but not an adult.

Dealt with the myths. Now my opinion is whether it is necessary, this is education.

I believe that education is necessary. BUT. Not everyone.

Who does NOT need a higher education? Those who do what they love and at the same time do not need a diploma for your business. Someone makes crafts, someone writes fairy tales, someone repairs bikes, someone sells their crafts, someone brings up children, someone builds a business. Why do you need an education that is not yours? For nothing. You personally don't need it. Just like you don’t need a sheepskin coat and felt boots if you live in the tropics and you have a 30-degree heat all year round. The coat itself and felt boots are a good thing, but you personally do not need them.

If your favorite activity requires a diploma (for example, if you are a doctor and you really like it), then yes, education is needed. Necessarily.

We so often blame everyone and everything (education, state, president, country, parents, society) for our failures. We often think of such a pathetic word as "responsibility" when it comes to others. But, alas, we so rarely remember this responsibility when it comes to our own education. After all, we ourselves went to this education, so why do we blame someone or something for the failure of this attempt?

It is we who make the choice to submit to external pressure or go our own way. We are changing, growing up, gaining experience. We almost always have a real choice, and absolutely always have a choice of our reaction. It's called being proactive if you've read S. Kovey or Viktor Frankl.

Who doesn't need an education? Those who have chosen a profession in a rapidly changing field. Web programming, most specialties in marketing and web professions (targetologists, advertisers, SEO and SMM specialists), businesses of all levels. In these areas, everything is changing faster than it is being modified. educational plans. Yes, the education system with its standards is less agile. It is by definition, inherently unable to keep up with these super-velocity areas.

And if you asked the above questions about the future device, you will immediately understand that education in such specialties will soon become obsolete. I urge you to always think ahead, this is the main thing.

Education as a resource

I think you understand that education itself is neutral here. The system has its gaps, gaps, but there are also positive sides. As an everywhere. This is exactly the same external resource as everything else. We can use it or not. We can choose it, that is, education, change it, not finish it or finish it, use it or not use it.

Education is a resource. Like time, money, building materials, houses, cars, the ability to drive this car, skill, computer and smartphone, bank loans. There are frankly terrible resources, rotten and dilapidated. There are wonderful. We choose for ourselves which resources to use and which not. You do not take loans from every second bank simply because:

• liked the advertisement
• parents insisted
• credit is trendy
• in company with a friend
• and what, everyone has loans and I have the same ...

and then sit and cry, because you are up to your neck in debt and blame the banks for giving out such and such loans. So it is with education. If you consider it as a resource, you will choose according to your needs, look for a good university with the right program, examples of successful graduates, reviews (and not go where they teach somehow and not what you need), then education will become one of the most successful investments in your future.

I am finishing this long story, but I'm afraid I'm already tired.

conclusions

Let's summarize to collect thoughts in a pile. A few key takeaways:

1. Higher education is neither evil nor good. This is a resource that must be used wisely.
2. There are people who do not need education for life. And then you don't have to get it.
3. There are people who need education. Welcome to the walls of the university.
4. And most importantly: you need to learn what you love, what you like, what makes your eyes burn. This applies not only to higher education, but to any education.

What do you think about this?

Are you wondering if higher education is needed today? You will find answers and a useful video to this question here!

About 15 years ago, people, having higher education, highly valued by both employers and society.

No one doubted the abilities of people with higher education, it was believed that if it is, then this specialist top level. While, higher education could get only two categories of people: smart and.

What is happening now is very sad!

To date higher education- DEPRESSED!

Now, probably, only the person himself does not have it.

Absolutely EVERYONE can enter the university on a paid basis !!!

People go for a diploma, thinking that, having received it, they will be easily hired and will be highly valued and respected.

But in reality, everything turns out differently.

In the modern labor market, there is a huge shortage of people for such specialties as: a builder, a salesman, a cashier, a worker, an electrician, a plumber, and so on.

While almost all have diplomas of economists, accountants, teachers, managers, lawyers.

Therefore, now teachers are sitting at the cash desks of shops, lawyers are laying asphalt, and economists are selling kvass on the streets.

So why you need higher education?

In order to end up working in the position that is in demand, and not the one you need?

Is higher education necessary? Reasons why you shouldn't get it:

Unilateral training programs.

In modern universities, there are a huge number of disciplines that are absolutely not needed by any specialist.

As a result, when you come to work, you have to forget everything that you diligently studied at the university and re-learn, but for a specific job.

Teaching quality.

I won't reveal to you big secret, but in almost all universities, half of the tests and exams can be obtained for a small "present" (or whatever it is called - "magarych") to the teacher.

This is certainly good for those who came specifically for a diploma, but what about those who came for knowledge?

Number of higher educational institutions.

Within a few years, a huge number of commercial institutions appeared.

Passing scores are low there, and the quality of education is corresponding.

And teachers, where can we get such a number of highly qualified teachers to fill all the vacancies of all universities?

Nobody guarantees employment.

Hello, friends. Today is November 4, 2016, and in this article we will try to deal with the question of whether higher education is needed in our time. modern man in the current conditions of life.

It should be noted right away that the topic is very delicate, so your opinion may radically differ from the proposed version. Please share your thoughts in the comments.

If we consider the domestic labor market 20-25 years ago (or earlier), then people with a diploma of completed higher education were considered by default to be first-class specialists in their field. Therefore, every decent parent considered it his duty to teach the child, thus giving him a "ticket to a prosperous future."

Let's see if this model works now? Offhand, there are several conflicting opinions:

1. Nobody needs a degree today.
2. Higher education has always been valued and its importance should not be underestimated.

We will deal with each opinion, and then try to draw a conclusion in favor of one of the options.

Viewpoint #1: Nobody cares about education

As the first reinforced concrete proof, I would like to present a short list of people who did not need a diploma to fulfill their dreams and achieve success in life.

• Michael Dell. Since 2013 included in the list of 100 the richest people planets (49th place). At the moment, the amount of his capital exceeds 16 billion.
• Bill Gates . From the age of 13, he began to actively move towards the goal. Mastered programming, founded Microsoft. With enviable frequency leads the ranking of the world's rich.
• Coco Chanel. It is difficult to meet a person who could influence so much fashion trends the last century. Despite the fact that Coco died in 1971, her creation (the house of Chanel) continues to conquer the planet today.
• John Rockefeller. The first dollar billionaire in the history of mankind. Succeeded out of poverty, without outside help and advice. It is impossible to imagine how strong the impact of this man was on the US industrial sector.
• Walt Disney. I don’t know if it’s worth commenting on anything in front of this surname. An amazing person whose masterpieces will live in our hearts forever.

As already noted, this is a rather limited list of people to look up to.

Now consider a few more reasons in favor of the fact that traditional education is not necessary:

• One-sided and overly wide material feed.
• Poor quality of teaching, based on the presentation of useless and unclaimed theories.
• Inflated cost of education, without any guarantee for subsequent employment.
• A huge number of educational universities upsets the balance in the labor market. As a result, supply clearly dominates demand, and many specialists are forced to seek alternative source earnings (often, extremely unpleasant).

Today, if a person really needs knowledge, there are many paid / free courses and trainings that allow you to quickly progress in the chosen direction. It is much faster and cheaper than at the institute.

Let's say if you want to get a sought-after Internet profession and self-actualize, you can do it in online university netology.

With such training, the emphasis is on useful knowledge, and not on passing a bloated 5-year abstract program that has no practical foundation.

Don't believe? According to statistics, about 80% of new employees hear the phrase “ forget everything you were taught at your institute". Agree, there is something to think about.

And here, for example, is a list of courses and trainings on the Internet that have good feedback and give me confidence:

1. If you want to become a successful blogger and make good money on your blog, then you can study at the Alexander Borisov Blogger School. Here.
2. Starting an online business. Learn how to make money selling products online. Here.
3. Get more in demand and highly paid profession on the Internet is possible. Here.
4. School of Successful Trading. Here.
5. Center for Financial Culture. I recommend. Here.

Viewpoint #2.

Suppose that the chosen specialty is the direction to which you are ready to devote best years life. In this case, a diploma of education gives you the following benefits:

• Opportunity to get a position in the best company.
• Wide opportunities for career advancement.
• stable workplace with all social security.
• New acquaintances, business connections.

In addition to all this, a diploma is an element of prestige and is intended to increase human self-esteem. Well, it's time to jump to the conclusion.

So, is higher education necessary? It is unfortunate, but it is impossible to answer unambiguously. It all depends on the priority life goal.

To understand, ask yourself questions like this:

• What are the prospects of a diploma?
• Is there a more efficient and faster way to achieve the desired result?
• Will the lack of formal education affect the image? How strong? Is it possible to survive it?

Only after receiving honest answers, you can make the only right decision. Good luck!

P.S. Here's more useful material, where the author of this video shares his opinion on whether higher education is necessary for a modern person, taking as an example quite well-known and successful personalities, namely Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and, well, the man who changed the world!
