Considering getting education from university is important to succeed in life or not is a debate of various people with many opinions, but if we look at both sides, yes education helps in getting a successful life, some people think a university degree is still important they say it leads to better jobs and help in learning new and valuable skills and it shows that someone has great knowledge also more dedicated to his work moreover a university exposes you to new people with new ideas which helps them grow.
On the other hand some people think you can be successful without any degree and that practical skills are more important to make u successful by mentioning the famous people and quoting their words such as elon musk saying getting a degree is not that important, they point out that universities are expensive and most of the students end up having a huge debt in addition to this they also say knowledge can be gained by enrolling in training programs and through online courses.
Personally i think universities do help you gain financial freedom but it’s not the only way to have it, it depends on you how you want to learn new skills and implement them in ur daily life to be successful, although for some jobs a degree is must but looking at the other side for some people hands on experience is much better, in my opinion education from university is important it’s more like a backup option if u don’t get successful by your experience and skills a degree helps make the room fill for you and it increases the chances for you to be come successful because you have a proof that you are eligible.
